Ever wonder why? To me I think that is his way of being different since everyone else has one. Plus, maybe religious reasons too.

no.

doesn't he have a tatoo of his symbol above his right ear? I thought he shaved a part of his hair off and had 1 put there. Isn't there a picture of it in the emancipation lyrics book?

Do people really believe this was a tatoo?

It was obviously drawn on with mascara pencil, hence the reason it was in some photos, but not others.

If people are gullible enough to believe that was a tat, then they must think the same of the word "slave" on his face.

well it was reported to be a real tat anyway, and he's never had
that much of his skull exposed since, so how are we to know if
it's really still there or not?

i'm not saying i'm right, not at all. in fact, i hope i'm not
right about this. but please give me some more details.

at any rate, i'd imagine the brotha's too much of a panny-wuss to get inked anyway. he got his ear pierced, sure, but sitting in a chair and getting tatted? can't imagine 'im doing it. he don't seem like the type of brotha to get a tattoo anyways.

Well, I don't think it's true that EVERYONE has tattoos, though of course they seem to be de rigeur in the glamorous celebrity world at the moment.

Prince has never been a sheep and followed the latest trends to appear 'in', but I prefer to believe he hasn't had a tat for the same reason I haven't - a tat is for life (well, without painful laser treatment!) and you might get bored of it. I would get bored wearing the same clothes for the rest of my life, so I'm bound to get bored of the same graphic stuck somewhere on my body!

These people that get their then girlfriend's names on their arms - idiots!

that's why one would get something with meaning behind it, as opposed to getting any old flash that you see on the tattoo parlour walls tatted on you. all of mine have meanings behind 'em.


oh man...those are among the stupidest tattoos that you could ever get.

Yeah, I remember seeing a posting of a pic of the tattoo on thedawn.com around the time of Emancipation. There was a write-up about it, and it mentioned something about Prince painfully going under the needle to get the tat.

It may not be real. I don't know, but it WAS reported as such on Prince's official Web site at the time.

i thought so

Really? I never heard this report, and I was following his career more closely in 1996, than I am now. Got any links to support this?

Explain the psychology behind that!!!

Who's seen his body? Baby so Shy showing just a little Animal Fur. Covering the POD and all. No ASs.NO Dick... All Covered with Tunics. He Could have some. We Never see his BODACIOUS BOD... He's Waiting till he's 65 and everything Hangs and Sags before he takes a Groupie Blow job from Me..LOL.

The only place I ever saw that info about the tattoo was The Dawn Web site, which is long-gone. I tried looking at the Web archive site, but coudn't find anything going back that far. I'll keep looking to find something, but won't spend days looking for the info.

Who knows. There's a chance he doesn't really have a tattoo and the posting on thedawn.com could have been BS, but I really do remember reading it on the site. I remember being in disbelief after reading that Prince got a tattoo since I could imagine him actually doing.

Hmm. Maybe someone else on the org remembers reading this back in the day and can back me up.

For some reason I thought he had one on his arm for the longest time. Dunno where I got that idea.





I agree with Hands. Even if he wanted one he's probably too much of a wuss to go through with it.

funny though how everyone simply keeps ignoring the fact that
there were pics of his shaved off hair and a very basic tatoo
of the symbol on his skull.

people obviously rather choose to believe that it is marker
than the actual posting on his own website at the time that
said he had gotten a tatoo.

weird.

maybe in his ass ???

Newman said:

you're correct. it was done by the same artist that did mike tyson's face tattoo.


it was posted here a couple of years ago when the artist was interviewed. he said the two biggest wusses he ever gave tattoos were tyson and prince.

meow85 said:

On one hand I agree with you both...Prince doesn't seem like the type of person who would like pain, but then again getting a tattoo doesn't hurt that much. I have two tattoos + 9 ear piercings + 1 nose piercing and out of all that one of my ear piercings hurt more than the tats. But on the other hand, I imagine getting a tattoo on your skull would hurt more than the "average" tattoo. (I did have to have shots in my head once--long story--and those HURT.)
I'd be surprise if he didn't have tattoo'd somewhere--he has used that symbol for decades...

I believe thats a real tat on his head, but heck, Im pretty gullible anyway

Remember the "Emacipation" lyric book?

Not the CD insert, but the book you could order? Well, there was someone in there with a symbol tattoo on their hip. The symbol also had pearls hooked onto it. I always assumed this was Mayte,it wasn't Prince. Who was it?
