However, only 5 out of 6 of them did it. Mark Ruffalo opted out of it, though. Perhaps The Hulk isn't a fan of inks. Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America), and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) each got a minimalist Avengers logo that was intertwined with a  "6" to represent the 6 Avengers who took on Loki in The Avengers (2012).

“Five of the original six Avengers got a tattoo,” Robert Downey Jr. exclusively tells Entertainment Weekly. “And the sixth was the tattoo artist, who gave it to five of us, the one who opted out being Mark Ruffalo. It was (Scarlett) Johansson’s idea, and she and (Chris) Evans did it in New York. Then, their New York guy, Josh Lord, who is amazing, flew out to LA, he did me, did (Jeremy) Renner, and then we just bullied (Chris) Hemsworth into doing it, and he got it. And each one of us drew a line on the artist with his own tattoo gun and it was a total massacre. Each of us contributed to giving the tattoo artist the sixth tattoo that he designed for us. By the way, he’s got another one on him that Scarlett did, which is beautiful, which is crazy, because the line she drew on him, which was just supposed to be a straight line, looked like a lightning bolt. It was a mess.” (source: Entertainment Weekly)

However, die-hard fans saw more into it than the Avengers logo with a number "6", as they tried to decipher the meaning behind the tattoo design and one Reddit user even came up with a drawing to explain the logo.

Regardless of whether there is any more to it than the Avengers logo intertwined with a "6", it sure is a meaningful symbol for these actors and their friendship.

 

Avengers: Infinity War is now showing in the theatres.
