Prince Harry thought he was going to chat up country star Jelly Roll about making an appearance at next year’s Invictus Games but instead he wound up getting a tattoo.
In a humorous promotional video for the Invictus Games, the Duke of Sussex sat in a tattoo parlour awaiting the singer, who arrived not to talk about performing in February, but rather, to ink the royal.
“Do you know I could not believe it when they called me and told me Prince Harry wanted to get a tattoo today, and he wanted me to give him his first tattoo?” Jelly Roll said, much to Harry’s surprise.
“I came here to ask you to do the Invictus Games,” he said, after questioning why the “Wild Ones” singer was wearing a glove.
Jelly Roll explained that he was giving the royal a tattoo for the Invictus Games, but Harry quickly corrected him.
“There’s no tattoo in this. I can’t get a tattoo!,” Harry exclaimed as he fidgeted in the chair.
They two eventually struck a deal where the Duke of Sussex would get a tattoo if Jelly Roll performed at the Invictus Games and discussed where Harry should get inked.
“We gotta go for the neck,” Jelly Roll recommended, to which the 40-year-old royal replied, “I was thinking like my lower back or my a**.”
The singer laughed: “Nobody wants to see you’re a**, Harry.”
Harry argued, “But that’s the place where no one’s going to see it.”
Before Jelly Roll dives in, a nervous-looking Harry asked if the singer has had any tattooing experience, to which he responded, “Practically.”
Once the needle hits Harry’s neck, the royal yelped in pain and joked, “Yeah, I should have had it on my a**.”
The big reveal shows not a “small one” as Harry requested but read the Invictus Games motto “I AM” with “Jelly Roll” written underneath.
“You put your name on my neck?! Are you serious?” Harry shouts at Jelly Roll, who runs out of the shop.

“Oh, s***,” Harry said, throwing his head back in despair.
The video concluded with the announcement that Jelly Roll would be performing at the closing ceremony on Feb. 16.
Inspired by the Warrior Games in the U.S., Harry founded the Invictus Games in 2014, in which wounded, injured and sick servicemen and servicewomen compete in a variety of sports.
The 2025 event will be held in Vancouver and Whistler Feb. 6-17.
