Jelly Roll Gives Prince Harry a Tattoo in 'Awesome' Video Announcing Unexpected Collab
Prince Harry ended up with an unexpected tattoo in a recent video—courtesy of heavily-inked country star Jelly Roll.
In a recent clip shared to Instagram by the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025, the royal and the singer met up at the New York City tattoo parlor East Side Ink.
"Hey, hey! Tattoos! Speaking of! What's up! I'm such a fan, dude. Do you know I could not believe it when they called me and told me Prince Harry wanted to get a tattoo today? They wanted me to give him his first tattoo? This is the coolest thing ever!" said Jelly Roll, greeting the prince.

"We're giving you a tattoo about the Invictus Games," he added when the Duke of Sussex seemed confused.
"No, I came here to ask you to do the Invictus Games. There's no tattoo in this. I can't get a tattoo!" Harry said.
That's when Jelly Roll struck a deal with the royal.
"I'll play the Invictus Games, you just let me give you your first tattoo," he said.
After Harry agreed—saying "Alright, screw it, let's go—Jelly Roll started up the tattoo gun and aimed for his neck.
"I was thinking the lower back or on my ass," Harry protested.
"Nobody wants to see your ass, Harry!" Jelly Roll argued.
When Harry asked Jelly Roll if he'd ever tattooed anyone before, his answer was alarmingly vague.
"Practically, pretty much," he said
While Harry hoped for a "small one," Jelly Roll left him with a large tat on his neck reading "I am Jelly Roll" in the same style as the Invictus Games "I am" logo.

"I'll see you in Vancouver!" Jelly Roll said, leaving the room. "I'll be there, I appreciate you!"
"Oh, s—t," Harry said.
