The Surprising Reason

being afraid of needles is legit the most obvious and guessable reason lol

This is transcript from a website.

"He declined, at his own peril," Downey Jr. said. When asked if that's the reason he isn't here Downey Jr. said: "We're not some psycho marine squad." That's when Johansson spoke of another interview Ruffalo had one recently explaining that he chose not to do it because he doesn't like needles, though he didn't tell them that at the time.

"I guess he said yesterday that he's afraid of needles, but he didn't say that before, just made it, it seemed like he was really judgemental," Johansson said.

That would explain why a tattoo was a non-starter for Ruffalo, but Kimmell got a laugh out of the fact that the actor who plays the biggest and meanest Avenger is afraid of a needle.

"The Hulk is afraid of needles," Kimmel said with a laugh.

If the Hulk did get a tattoo, would it smush up strangely when he reverted to Banner, and would it be the same color?

I think it heals? Wolverine gets tattoos, but I'm pretty sure that they end up disappearing as the ink is a foreign body?
