Prince Harry has been pictured visiting a tattoo parlour in New York City during a trip to the Big Apple, sparking suggestions he got inked after his 40th birthday.

The Duke of Sussex was in the city for a series of solo appearances at events linked with UN General Assembly High-Level Week. During his visit from his home in California, he was seen going to East Side Ink, a tattoo shop on the Lower East Side which is a favourite among A-listers, with several of his minders and a police officer.

The Duke spent about an hour in the tattoo shop, according to reports. The shop is a favourite of many A-list celebrities including Chris Hemsworth, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chris Evans and Jeremy Renner.

Shop owner Josh Lord told the New York Post: “I can’t confirm or deny anything. “We treat all our customers as if they were royal, because to us they are. We always honour their privacy. From everything I’ve seen he seems like a phenomenal guy. Personally I have never spoken a bad word about him. Good luck to him and all his ventures.”

The Duke’s visit is said to have been as part of an upcoming project and he was only inside the parlour to film a segment for a stunt.

Harry’s trip concluded with an appearance on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon where he was filmed screaming and swearing as he navigated a haunted maze with the TV host. The experience featured a cast of actors who jump out when least expected, making it a spooky experience.
