The Duke of tats?
Prince Harry joked he wanted a “lower back” or “ass” tattoo during a hilarious promo video with singer Jelly Roll for his upcoming Invictus Games.
The clip, shared on Instagram Tuesday, began with the Duke of Sussex sitting in a tattoo chair, waiting for his “artist” to arrive inside the East Side Ink tattoo shop in New York City.
“Is he going to be here any time soon?” Harry, 40, asked an unknown man, who replied, “Oh, yes. He should be here very promptly.”
Moments later, Jelly Roll, born Jason Bradley DeFord, walked in and put on a pair of black gloves.
“Hey, hey! Tattoos. Speaking of, what’s up man?” the country singer, 39, said to the royal.
“I’m such a fan, dude,” Jelly Roll added while shaking Harry’s hand.
“Do you know I could not believe it when they called me and told Prince Harry wanted to get a tattoo today and he wanted me to give him his first tattoo?”
A surprised Harry asked the “Wild Ones” singer why he was wearing gloves.
Jelly replied, “We’re giving you a tattoo about the Invictus Games.”
Harry told the crooner that he didn’t come to the shop to get new ink but to instead ask Jelly to “do the Invictus Games,” which are set to take place in Vancouver in February 2025.
“There’s no tattoo in this. I can’t get a tattoo,” the youngest son of Princess Diana and King Charles III said.
The “Need a Favor” singer then told Harry that he would “play the Invictus Games” if he allowed him to give him his first tattoo.
“Aight, screw it. Let’s go,” Harry responded.
“Where do you want it? Here?” he asked while pointing to his butt.
When the four-time Grammy nominee suggested Harry get the new ink on his neck, the “Spare” author shared a better idea.
“I was thinking like, my lower back or my ass,” he said.
When Jelly told Harry that “nobody wants to see” his ass, Meghan Markle’s husband replied, “That’s the place where no one’s going to see it.”
The “Save Me” singer then jokingly tattooed, “I am Jelly Roll,” on Harry’s neck.
After the dad of two shockingly saw the faux tattoo of Jelly’s name on his neck, the country singer quickly ran out of the room.
The video concluded with a message about Jelly performing live at the Invictus Games closing ceremony on Feb. 16.
In September, Page Six exclusively reported that Harry visited the NYC tattoo parlor alongside members of his security team.
A source told us the royal stayed at the shop from about 1 p.m. to a little over 2 p.m.
Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014 and it serves as an international multi-sport event for wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women, both serving and veterans.
