Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made plenty of headlines around the time of his 40th birthday. There were rumors that Meghan stopped Harry from celebrating the milestone with his friends in the UK amid their feud with the royal family. However, Harry did make it to New York as he spent some time in the Big Apple amid turning 40. He may have also gotten a secret tattoo.
The Daily Mail reports that Prince Harry spent some significant time at East Side Ink last month. He was in the shop for about an hour, but hasn’t made it public whether or not he got an ink during his trip. Meanwhile, the business owner, Josh Lord, is staying mum on the subject.
Did Prince Harry Get A Secret Tattoo For His 40th Birthday?
“I couldn’t tell you anything about anyone that stopped by without their permission. We would respect anyone’s privacy in the exact same way,” Lord said. “A tattoo is a deeply personal choice…. anything that happens here is your private moment,” he added.
After the news of Harry’s possible tattoo excursion was revealed, fans didn’t hold back. They immediately began sharing their thoughts on the Duke of Sussex sporting some ink.
“Yup. Harry’s midlife crisis has started. With the tats, next stop is the Harley dealer,” one person wrote.
“East Side Ink is one of the oldest tattoo shops in NYC. Celebrities have gone there. it’s actually a nice, clean shop. It’s the lower east side. It has an edge,” another revealed.
“This is what happens when you are no longer a victim of coercive control, being told what to wear, what to eat, what to say, even what to THINK. It begins with isolating someone from ALL their family,” said a third person.
“Interesting that the tattoo shop owner has more integrity than his customer who was quite happy to reveal personal details about his own family,” a fourth comment read.
Perhaps in the future Prince Harry will share his alleged tattoo with the world. However, it could be personal and private. Either way, fans are eager to know what he may have had inked, and where.
