"We all got the same one - the word 'nine' in Elvish - because that's what we are, nine," Viggo, who played Aragorn in the movies, explained. "I visited the tattooist a couple times, showed him the drawing and stuff. I didn't say anything about Ian McKellen or whoever may be coming in. He just did it. We did all meet one morning and it was an interesting event, and I enjoyed it. Half a day. Actually everyone showed up. It goes along with all the other scars we got!"
7. Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams

As for the meaning, Selena revealed on "Live with Kelly and Ryan" that "it means a couple of different things." The Rare Beauty founder went on to gush over the model, "She calls me Rosebud, so it's a nickname. And I've always wanted a rose and now I got one, and I love it."

The tattoos appeared to be a combination of the main Avengers logo wrapped behind a number six, presumably for the original six superheroes: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye. Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner were among those who got tattoed, while Mark Ruffalo for some reasons was left out from the commemoration.

"It's a harmless thing. It's not like you're ruining something, like stealing a chess piece, where the board would be incomplete."
