It might have seemed impossible, but the Marvel Cinematic Universe is more popular than ever. Avengers: Endgame broke every box office record and quickly became the talk of the town.
While it’s exciting to see our favorite Marvel heroes in their iconic costumes, those costumes have a fun little secret: some seriously cool tattoos!
The core Avengers cast has a deep appreciation for ink, and we’ve got the inside scoop on these tattoos that are just as iconic as the Infinity Stones after a snap!
Scarlett Johansson
When it comes to celebrity tattoos, people have short memories. Scarlett Johansson is the perfect example of this!
Fans first saw her stunning back tattoo when Avengers: Infinity War premiered, but many were still surprised to spot it at the Avengers: Endgame premiere.
Her tattoo features a lamb over an intricate floral design. While this is her most visible tattoo, Scarlett actually has 7 others! It seems her body is a true canvas for some amazing ink.
Chris Evans
As Captain America, Chris Evans is often considered the heart of the Avengers. And given his character’s squeaky-clean image, many fans thought the actor had no tattoos.
This couldn’t be further from the truth! Evans has at least 7 tattoos that we know of. One notable ink piece is the Taurus Zodiac symbol on his left arm, which represents his mother’s sign and serves as a way to keep her close.
On his chest, he has a Buddhist quote that reflects the teachings that helped him find balance between work and life. He also has tattoos honoring loyalty, family, and even a dear friend who passed away. Maybe we should start calling him “Tat” instead of “Cap”!
Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth’s body has long been a source of inspiration (and admiration) for fans. While his physique might look different in Endgame, there are even more surprises hidden beneath the surface!
Compared to some of his co-stars, Hemsworth doesn’t have a lot of tattoos. One tattoo on his right wrist features his children’s names, and a design on his right ribcage honors his strong bond with the MCU cast.
Our favorite tattoo, though, is on his bicep: it’s a Dr. Seuss quote that symbolizes all the places Hemsworth’s career has taken him—and continues to take him!
Robert Downey Jr.
Like the rest of the Avengers cast, Robert Downey Jr. is a true family man. He has a tattoo on his left shoulder dedicated to his wife, and one on his right shoulder to honor his son.
But our favorite tattoo of his is on his right arm. It’s often called the “Avengers cast tattoo” because five of the original Avengers got it (though Mark Ruffalo politely passed).
The idea came from Scarlett Johansson, who’s known for her love of tattoos. This tattoo symbolizes the bond the cast shares, keeping them connected long after the final credits roll.
