“We’ll give you a tattoo about the Invictus Games,” he added as the Duke of Sussex appeared confused.
“No, I came here to ask you to do the Invictus Games. There’s no tattoo in it. I can’t get a tattoo!” said Harry.
Then Jelly Roll made a deal with the royal family.
“I’m playing the Invictus Games, you just let me give you your first tattoo,” he said.
After Harry agreed – saying, “Okay, fuck it, let’s go – Jelly Roll started the tattoo gun and aimed at his neck.
“I was thinking about the lower back or my bum,” Harry protested.
“Nobody wants to see your ass, Harry!” Jelly Roll argued.
When Harry asked Jelly Roll if he had ever tattooed anyone, his answer was alarmingly vague.
“Practically speaking, about,” he said
While Harry hoped for a ‘little one’, Jelly Roll left him with a large tat on his neck that read ‘I am Jelly Roll’ in the same style as the Invictus Games ‘I am’ logo.
