No big deal,

just a small story about a famous danish cook with this symbol as tattoo:

in my local area in the north of Denmark:

this tv-cook named Morten Kok is rather popular,

on local tv channel "24Nordjyske".

Now he is caught with a Prince tatoo on Tv.

Maybe Morten Kok should expect a Lawsuit soon.

Since the artist formerly known as loves to sue people.

Ps:

I have no idea if he, Morten Kok, actually is a big fan of Prince, or if the guy just likes the "pretty" symbol on his arm.

Sorry for making a thread about this guy, no flames please....

edit: another pic, see later in this thread for info:

1. How is finding out a fact abut you so I can finally understand you and where youre comng from negative?

2. Thats a cool tattoo/find especially since its on an unexpected person. Id like to hear his thoughts on Prince.

additional info about Morten Kok, just in case.

here :

http://www.mortenskro.com/

if you are coming to Denmark - the North of Jutland in the near future, Morten Kok owns a restaurant - in my hometown Aalborg.

^ Mods if I break any rules posting the info/ link - then just delete that link.

more info:

His name is Morten Nielsen, but he is known as "Morten Kok", which is a play on words, Kok means "Cook" in danish. (nothing naughty, haha).

And, also, the name he has taken "Morten Kok", is a referrence to a danish very old and very "traditional" writer Morten Korch (b. 1876- d. 1954), Korch wrote a lot of very naive books (a lot of the books were made to very naive but still very popular films too).

Morten Kok and Morten Korch is almost pronounced the same in danish.

Anyway, I guess this makes no sense to you.... Sorry for posting this:

still funny/ weird.. that Morten Kok wants to have that tattoo.

cool

He might be on the org... And did you notice how his tv last name is the same too?

yet, some more info,

Morten Kok was active in the political party "Ny Alliance" later known as "Liberal Alliance" present in the danish parlament,

But Morten Kok soon left politics.

He has been working as tv-cook on "24Nordjyske" local tv for years.

Recently, november 22, 2012: Morten Kok was a guesting cook on danish national "TV2",

making exclussive food from danish area, "North Jutland":

^ you did not see the Prince symbol tattoo on this occation though....

No more useless info about the guy from me..

(Edit, I am a little curious: therefor I have send the cook an email, and asked if he is a big fan of Prince, or whether he just found the symbol cool as a tattoo.)

^ to end this little story:

Morten Kok is a Prince fan for sure, he has used/ shown the tattoo earlier in his cooking book "Sensual moments" ("Sensuelle stunder") a book from 2002.

I got the info from Morten via email.

here is a Google translation:

a reply from Morten Kok:

"Thank you for your interest and I would like to respond as best I can. I have grown up with Prince and was a teenager when I saw and heard purple rain, and have followed since, however I am not a Prince fan on your level. I have always had an interest in the sensual-sexual universe and I have also written 3 senses-sensual cooking books and in the last book "Sensual moments" from 2002 the tattoo is also shown evident. In the sensual-sexual universe you often use symbols and I found particularly the gold experience an incredibly sensual / sexual album and I took great passion for the symbol and its many facets of interpretations. I find the use of SYMBOLS instead of words very MYSTERIOUS. I got the tattoo in 1994-1995 and it was also visible when Prince was in Aalborg for a number of years ago [which was in 2002, on the "One Nite Alone" tour].

Greetings from,

Morten
