Prince Harry<\/a> once came close to getting his “dream” tattoo on a wild trip to Las Vegas \u2013 a story RadarOnline.com<\/a> can reveal has resurfaced after he was recently seen taking part in a tattoo stunt at a New York parlor.<\/p>\n Harry, 41, recounted in his memoir Spare how, during a notorious 2012 trip to Nevada, he was determined to commemorate the holiday with ink. Egged on by alcohol and the rush of freedom, he settled on the idea of a map of Botswana on the sole of his foot.<\/p>\n A Tattoo Plan Born in Sin City But his friends intervened, insisting that no prince should wake up with a permanent reminder of a night out in Sin City.<\/p>\n A source close to the duke claimed: “Harry genuinely wanted the tattoo \u2013 to him it symbolized both his connection to Botswana and living in the moment. His friends, though, saw it as a bad idea and stepped in, convinced he’d regret it later.”<\/p>\n Friends Put Their Foot Down In Spare, Harry described how he debated placement \u2013 the shoulder was too visible, the lower back too provocative, but the sole of his foot seemed perfect. “Layers upon layers of symbolism,” he wrote, recalling how he wandered down the Las Vegas strip looking for a parlor with an atlas of Africa.<\/p>\n His friends, however, had other ideas. “Absolutely not,” they told him. Harry remembered their threats to “hold me down, knock me out, whatever it took” to stop him.<\/p>\n In the end, he abandoned the plan and instead joined his entourage in a nightclub, where he admitted to sulking over the missed tattoo.<\/p>\n Ink Fascination Resurfaces in New York More than a decade later, his fascination with body art has not disappeared. Last year he was spotted entering East Side Ink in Manhattan alongside American country star Jelly Roll<\/a>, sparking speculation he had finally followed through.<\/p>\n It later emerged the scene had been staged as part of a promotional sketch for the Invictus Games Vancouver Whistler 2025.<\/p>\nHarry revealed he nearly got a tattoo in Las Vegas.
