Taking a walk on the wild side! Prince Harry<\/strong><\/a> let Jelly Roll<\/strong><\/a> give him his first \u201ctattoo\u201d in exchange for the singer performing at the 2025 Invictus Games closing ceremony.<\/p>\n In a hilarious new video<\/a>, Harry, 40, was introduced looking nervous while sitting in a chair at the famed East Side Ink Tattoo in New York City. He asked about when his tattoo artist would arrive, as Jelly, 39 \u2014 real name Jason DeFord<\/strong> \u2014 came up behind him with a friendly introduction in the Tuesday, November 19, post shared by the Invictus Games\u2019 social media accounts.<\/p>\n The \u201cSave Me\u201d artist told Harry he was such a \u201cfan\u201d and gushed how he couldn\u2019t believe it when he got the call that the royal wanted the singer to give him his first tattoo.<\/p>\n The Duke of Sussex claimed he was there to ask Jelly \u201cto do\u201d the Invictus Games, while the CMA winner<\/a> said he was there to ink up Harry.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no tattoo in this! I can\u2019t get a tattoo!\u201d the former working member of the British royal family<\/a> explained. After Jelly agreed to perform at the games, Harry said, \u201cScrew it. Let\u2019s do it.\u201d<\/p>\n The \u201cWild Ones\u201d artist suggested inking Harry\u2019s neck, while the royal quickly retorted that he was thinking of having it done on his \u201clower back or ass.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThis is for the world,\u201d Jelly told him, as he proceeded to put the tattoo needle up to Harry\u2019s neck.<\/p>\n The son of King Charles III<\/strong> was horrified by the final work, yelling, \u201cWhat\u2019s that? Dude, it\u2019s enormous,\u201d after being handed a mirror. It reflected back a tattoo on Harry\u2019s neck with the \u201cI Am\u201d Invictus logo, along with Jelly\u2019s signature underneath. Harry let out an, \u201cOh s\u2013t,\u201d at the results, as the singer promised, \u201cI\u2019ll be there. Appreciate you!\u201d about the games.<\/p>\n \u201cThe most [exploding head emoji] inking of a deal in Invictus Games history,\u201d the caption of the post read. \u201cWatch when Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex meets @jellyroll615 @eastsideinktattoo. Don\u2019t miss this duo reuniting in Vancouver #IG25 Closing Ceremony February 16.\u201d<\/p>\n The 2025 Invictus Games will mark the first time the event has held a winter competition, featuring adaptive sporting events including alpine skiing, snowboarding, wheelchair curling and more.<\/p>\n Harry and his brother, Prince William<\/strong>, started the games in 2014 through the Royal Foundation. The British army veteran was inspired after attending the 2013 Warrior Games in the U.S. and seeing how sporting competition helped wounded vets physically and mentally. After the initial games in London, overseeing Invictus became Harry\u2019s primary endeavor.<\/p>\n While Harry\u2019s Invictus tattoo wasn\u2019t permanent, the ones that cover Jelly\u2019s body are.<\/p>\n \u201cI regret 98 percent of these tattoos<\/a>, 97 percent. Almost all of them!\u201d the \u201cNeed a Favor\u201d singer told GQ<\/em> in a March 12 video<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cLike, core philosophies I rooted my life in when I was 17, and now I\u2019m 40, I\u2019m like, \u2018What the f\u2013k was I thinking?\u2019\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know if I really remember my first face tattoo, there\u2019s so many now,\u201d Jelly mused in the video, but admitted there is one facial inking that he has zero regrets about.<\/p>\n \u201cMy most meaningful tattoo, as \u200bclich\u00e9 as it is, is probably the big cross. It was symbolic of a change in me, of kind of a new beginning. Understanding that I need to bear my own cross and carry my own cross as the good book says. So that was kind of a constant reminder,\u201d the Grammy nominee said of the large crucifix on his cheek.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n![\"Jelly](\"https:\/\/www.lifeandstylemag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Jelly-Roll-Gives-Prince-Harry-a-Tattoo-in-New-Video-3.jpg?fit=400%2C221&quality=86&strip=all\")
