Avengers Ink: Mark Ruffalo's Tattoo Refusal Revealed!
12 Aug
Summary
- Most original Avengers cast members got matching tattoos.
- Chris Evans tried to peer pressure Mark Ruffalo into a tattoo.
- Mark Ruffalo declined due to a dislike of needles and a desire to be 'punk rock'.
Chris Evans recounted a memorable moment from the filming of *Avengers: Infinity War* and *Endgame*, where most of the original Avengers cast decided to get matching tattoos. Evans revealed that Scarlett Johansson was instrumental in organizing the ink, but he himself was unsuccessful in persuading Mark Ruffalo to join the group.
Ruffalo has previously stated his reasons for not getting the tattoo, citing a combination of a personal aversion to needles and a wish to maintain a unique, 'punk rock' identity separate from the group's trend. Despite this, Evans playfully encourages fans to tease Ruffalo about his tattoo-free status.
Looking ahead, Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr. are slated to return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in *Avengers: Doomsday*, scheduled for release on December 18th, 2026. Mark Ruffalo was last seen in *Spider-Man: Brand New Day*, with his future appearances in the upcoming *Avengers* films remaining uncertain.
