On Tuesday, director David Ayer [tweeted photos](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/18/margot-robbie-suicide-squad-tattoo) from Harley’s Tattoo Parler Parlour of Margot Robbie wielding a tattoo gun in character as Harley Quinn. Soon after, other _Squad_ members like Joel Kinnaman (who plays Rick Flagg) and Jai Courtney (Captain Boomerang) started posting photos of their own ink. Kinnaman shared a photo of his new “skwad” tattoo, courtesy of co-star Will Smith, who plays Deadshot. “Will has many many talents, tattooing is not one of them,” Kinnaman wrote on Instagram. “It was like watching a drunk baby fly a helicopter.” _Suicide Squad_, which also stars Jared Leto and Cara Delevingne, hits theaters next summer. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/08/19/suicide-squad-cast-tattoos) _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com) 'Suicide Squad' Cast Gives Each Other Matching Tattoos ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4003403/suicide-squad-movie-cast-tattoos/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4003403/suicide-squad-movie-cast-tattoos/"},"headline":"Suicide Squad Cast Gives Each Other Matching Tattoos","datePublished":"2015-08-19T16:45:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:23:37.265Z","description":"Skawd goals","url":"https://time.com/4003403/suicide-squad-movie-cast-tattoos/","keywords":["Newsfeed","movies","celebrity","will smith","Suicide Squad","margot robbie"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc859519404f106cc/6988600e0b72e3c9dc6e5749/will-smith.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Devan Coggan / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltc859519404f106cc/6988600e0b72e3c9dc6e5749/will-smith.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Will Smith at the world premiere of \"Focus\" in Los Angeles on Feb. 24, 2015.","caption":"Will Smith at the world premiere of \"Focus\" in Los Angeles on Feb. 24, 2015.","creditText":"John Salangsang—Invision/AP","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4003403/suicide-squad-movie-cast-tattoos/","name":"Suicide Squad Cast Gives Each Other Matching Tattoos"}}]}] ```
