The video begins with Prince Harry sitting in a tattoo chair at East Side Ink, waiting for Jelly Roll.

“Take a look around, can we get you anything?” someone asks Harry, who replies, “No, I’m alright. Is he going to be here any time soon?” Shortly afterward, Roll enters the room, greeting Harry warmly.

“Hey, hey! Tattoos! Speaking of! What’s up! I’m such a fan, dude,” the 'Save Me' singer says.

“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!” says Roll.

Surprised, Harry clarifies his visit, saying, “No, I came here to ask you to do the Invictus Games. There’s no tattoo in this. I can’t get a tattoo!” reported People.

Jelly Roll proposes a deal: “I’ll play the Invictus Games, you just let me give you your first tattoo.”

After a moment of consideration, Harry responds, “Alright, screw it, let’s go,” as Roll starts the process.

The 'Liar' singer suggests a bold placement, saying, “We gotta go for the neck!”

Harry jokes, “I was thinking the lower back or on my a**.” Laughing, Roll replies, “Nobody wants to see your a**, Harry!”

The Prince counters, “No, that’s the place where no one is going to see it.”

As the tattoo gun buzzes, Harry nervously asks, “Wait, have you done this before?” Roll replies, “Practically, pretty much. Trust me.” Harry quips, “I should have gotten it on my a**.”

“Is that your name? Does that say Jelly Roll? You put your name on my neck?!” Harry exclaims.
