Prince Harry has said that he wanted to commemorate his 2012 trip to Las Vegas with a tattoo. He recently revealed that he planned to ink Botswana on his foot to symbolize his sense of freedom, and the world has been reacting.
According to him, despite already deciding on the spot and image for the tattoo, his friends promised to physically stop him from doing it.
Harry added that his pals actually vowed to hold him down and knock him out if he insisted on proceeding with his plan.
His words, “I was in rough shape, and filling up with…ideas.
I need something to commemorate this trip, I decided. Something to symbolize my sense of freedom, my sense of carpe diem. For instance…a tattoo? Yes! Just the thing!
I went to find Billy the Rock to tell him where we were going. He smiled. No way. My mates backed him up. Absolutely not. In fact, they promised to physically stop me. I was not going to get a tattoo, they said, not on their watch, least of all a foot tattoo of Botswana.
They promised to hold me down, knock me out, whatever it took. A tattoo is permanent, it’s forever! Their arguments and threats are one of my last clear memories from that evening. I gave in. The tattoo could wait till the next day.
These photos would never go away. They were permanent. They’d make a foot tattoo of Botswana look like a splodge of Indian ink.”
WOW.
