A Guide to Chris Hemsworth's Known Tattoos and Meanings

To commemorate his fan-favorite role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he got a matching Avengers tattoo with four of the original members of the group in 2018.

The above photo shows Robert Downey Jr.'s tattoo, not that of Hemsworth.

Hemsworth, Downey Jr. (Iron Man/Tony Stark), Chris Evans (Steve Rogers/Captain America), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow/Natasha Romanoff), and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye/Clint Barton) got the same design in spring 2018. 

Mark Ruffalo (Hulk/Bruce Banner) chose not to get inked because he's "afraid of needles."

Hemsworth's Avengers tattoo is located on the right side of his torso. 

The idea for matching tattoos came from Johansson and Evans. The design was created by Josh Lord, an artist at New York's East Side Ink who has also done several pieces for Johansson.

If you look closely at the design, it's packed with references to the original six, depending on the angle you look at the tattoo.

In a January 2019 interview with Revolver magazine, Lord said that he worked with the stars to create a tattoo that everyone agreed on and represented their Marvel journeys.  

For example, the number six is visible, along with a big "A" to represent the group as well as symbols representing the characters. Lord also said that the actors' initials are "hidden in there."
