Mayte and Her Prince Tattoo

Posting it here again to clear up all the speculation about Mayte

Mayte is fine.....she went to get a tattoo on Saturday as her own private memorial to her first husband and father of her deceased child. As many people know, whenever you get a tattoo you have a drink or two to ease the pain of the needle...as mayte is not an avid tattoo person, and NOT a fan of needles, she had a drink or two to get through it....this was also highly emotional for her as it was a closing of that chapter of her life. As you can see, she has not been part of any public memorials or news interviews. Her appearance at the single moms event was planned long before the passing of Prince and it was something she had to appear at as it honored her as the amazing single mother she is. But as you can see in the speech she had acknowledged his passing saying she did not want to discuss it.


She did have daughter Gia there as you can see in the video, but I was also there and driving and watching Gia. I would not let anything happen to mayte, as I have been pretty much since her divorce. She is fine and that tattoo was her way of finally grieving as she was not given a chance in minneapolis(she did attend a private memorial with friends and former band members, not the so called OFFICIAL one, which she was not invited to as the church was pretty much running that, and she was not part of the church nor would she attend an event run by the JW's).

So please do not look at this video as Mayte has to get things together and such, she has it together and her head is on straight, as she is raising an amazing child and rescuing countless numbers of dogs and other animals all by herself....any of you ever sit down and have a drink after a long week? Don't look so deep into this....its not that complex.

And by the way, she didnt sell her wedding ring or anything else Prince related for that matter, auctions were pulled down and she kept everything. Part of her reason for attempting to sell off these items was her attempt at moving on and using the items for a worthy cause, to fund her animal rescue and open a brick and mortar location so she can save more animals and give the public a chance at adopting these incredible animals. She is still working on this, but is accepting donations if needed at www.maytesrescue.com......so instead of chastising her for having a drink and getting a tattoo in her ex-husbands memory, how about donating to a cause that she, and he believed in too.....

Hope you all understand now...

I always have a couple of drinks before I get a new tattoo, kinda takes the edge off the nerves. My ex boyfriend is a tattoo artist and he will tell you that is the case most of the time.
I see nothing wrong with Her actions and totally understand her grieving. Until you have walked a mile in someone's shoes , it's not fair to criticize .
I don't think it was very cool not to invite her , but I don't blame her for not wanting to attend the JW stuff...I wouldn't either , but then I have my own opinion about all of that stuff .
Please let her know that many of us are feeling her pain and our thoughts and prayers are with her .Ive always had a soft spot for Mayte and felt that the biggest mistake Prince ever made was letting her go . I am a big fan of his,
But under no illusions that the man was perfect .We are all broken in our own kind of ways . I am glad she has a friend like you in her life .
As another mother who went through many years of hell and failed pregnancies , and even a failed adoption before I finally got my baby , I am so very happy for her . A wise woman once told me
" If you open your heart God will send you the baby of your dreams " .
Thank you for letting us know she is alright , The grieving she just has to make it through...been there too.She is a remarkable woman !
Please congratulate her for me on her daughter ,from one adoptive mom to another ,
I truly feel that God sends our children to us in different ways and am so very happy for her .

I would like to see a pic of that tattoo though...

I'm not a huge Mayte fan but I certainly wish her well and do not think that she owes anybody any explanations. Just help her to understand that she leaves herself open to mean spirited people when she makes these kinds of public appearances.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

Please tell Mayte that she does not need to justify anything. Ignore others opinion, just do what she thinks is right for her. You have always been a good friend to Mayte, she is blessed having you near. Best wishes to you, Mayte and little Gia.

Please send my regards and condolences to Mayte. I can only imagine her sorrow and grief. This must be a very trying time for her, vulnerable and sensitive. She should take to heart no bad words or opinions said to or of her. I was lucky enough to have met Prince, quite a few times, and I along with many of his friends are in disbelief still, shocked, sad! Again, please send her best wishes and prayers and my condolences.

It's nice that you clear the air, but it's a shame you feel you have to. Mayte owes no one any explanations about her behavior as long as she's not hurting anyone, and it certainly doesn't seem like she is doing that.

If you will, so will I

Nice of you to provide an update but it certainly wasn't needed. Mayte is a grown woman with a PERSONAL history with Prince. She doesn't owe his fans anything in my opinion. She only owes herself peace of mind. IF getting a tattoo does it for her then I'm all for it. And even if I wasn't, it doesn't matter because it's not about me.

People kill me with their judgement and harsh words. Everyone is so quick to think the worst of others. They act as though they've never been deeply in love, heartbroken or suffered a devasting loss. I truly hope Mayte is ignoring all the ignorant comments being posted online. I also hope she knows that it's not everyone. I think alot of fans(die hard and casual) and the general public support her.

I hope we (fans) can remember that Mayte and Prince loved each other. They were married and parents to baby boy. Mayte deserves our respect for those reasons alone.

Personally, I hope she doesn't show the tattoo anytime soon. The public doesn't deserve it from what I've seen. Why give people the opportunity to hate on it? She should just keep it to herself like she did her son's name all these years. If we are lucky maybe we'll see it in a random photo eventually.

I wish Mayte and Gia the best. smile

Great post and couldn't agree more, I have a few tattoos and each have a meaning for me and while I would love to see it , you are probably right...why give the haters something to feed off of .
I fully support her and am very happy that now she has a tattoo to represent BOTH of her Princes . I know how much mine mean to me .

Wow. That was fast. Didn't think we'd see pics of the tattoo so soon. I can't really make it out but it looks nice. All the talk about drinking... heck she needed to drink!!! That tattoo is on the bone. I know that hurt like nobody's business.

Good for her. Life's short. You can't live for others. You have to do what you need to do for yourself. I hope she's found some meaure of peace.

On her instagram you can see a video of the making of the tattoo ... It's like a flower with the love symbol in the center. I love Mayté but I don't think it's a good idea for her to be getting a tattoo of the symbol on her body, especially a place so visible.

It's gonna scare men off ... she's going to be single for the rest of her life!

The tattoo is very tasteful. It looks better in that video on her IG than it does in those photos. I personally would have gotten it on the inside of my wrist but everyone has their own opinions. The
videos posted by Mayte and Eric (tattoo artist) are both very well done. I'm happy for her. I hope it brings her a measure of peace. And it's funny people were going nuts over that periscope video yet she didn't even get the tattoo done that night. She and Gia were both wearing completely different outfits.


AND if she meets a guy who truly loves her he'll understand. Not saying it'll be easy but he'll know, understand and accept her baggage if he loves/wants her. We all have stuff...Mayte's is just public. I genuinely hope she finds a nice guy to share her life with eventually. She and Gia deserve it.

So please do not look at this video as Mayte has to get things together and such, she has it together and her head is on straight, as she is raising an amazing child and rescuing countless numbers of dogs and other animals all by herself....any of you ever sit down and have a drink after a long week? Don't look so deep into this....its not that complex.



And by the way, she didnt sell her wedding ring or anything else Prince related for that matter, auctions were pulled down and she kept everything. Part of her reason for attempting to sell off these items was her attempt at moving on and using the items for a worthy cause, to fund her animal rescue and open a brick and mortar location so she can save more animals and give the public a chance at adopting these incredible animals. She is still working on this, but is accepting donations if needed at www.maytesrescue.com.....so instead of chastising her for having a drink and getting a tattoo in her ex-husbands memory, how about donating to a cause that she, and he believed in too.....

I adore Mayte. I think she lost her soul mate. He always seemed happiest with her. I'm not of fan of the other one. Nor did he look at the other one (can't bring myself to say her name). Mayte you owe no answers to anyone. God bless you and Gia.

This girl has been through a LOT. And dealt with it better than I've might have. I couldn't imagine being tied to someone so increasingly closely for all those years from such a young age and then find myself alone having lost so much...God bless her.

It's time to forgive and love in a different way now - and stay in the present moment. God has something very special for her. All is forgiven from above now. It's gonna be ok.

one thing I had to see was just because things didn't work out with men in my past, I was every bit as worthy as ever anyway. In fact I was worth more in God's eyes than I realized, and that came later.


I like the tattoo on the outer wrist because it's different there.

As for the drinking, it actually thins the blood so they suggest not to do it beforehand. FYI to anyone who's thinking about getting one.
