Neil Patrick Harrisjust debuted another sentimental tattoo.
In anInstagram postshared on Wednesday, theHow I Met Your Motheralum revealed his new fantastical ink — an illustration of a white rabbit holding a 3 of Hearts playing card while peeking out of a magician’s black top hat.
For the tattoo, Harris, 49, paid a visit to artistThomas Carli Jarlier’s Noire Ink London parlor. (A glimpse at Jarlier’s work shows his affinity for massive body art and surreal portraits.)
Harris also shared a collection of behind-the-scenes clips of his ink session, including a short clip of himself grimacing as Jarlier finished off the tattoo. “Almost done,” Harris is heard saying.
“I got some ink,” Harris captioned the post. “Wanted a second tattoo for a while, and thought London was the ideal place to get a proper magician’s top hat,” he added while praising Jarlier’s work and ending with “#grateful.”
Harris didn’t specify the meaning behind the tattoo, but fans suspect that the 3 of Hearts card symbolizes the actor’s family, which includes husbandDavid Burtka, 47, and their11-year-old twins Harper Grace and Gideon Scott. (Harris and Burtkacelebrated 18 yearssince their first date back in April.)
This magical stamp joins Harris' first tattoo, which was actually atribute to Netflix’sA Series of Unfortunate Events,where he played Count Olaf.
In 2017, he marked his ankle with the Volunteer Fire Department (V.F.D.) insignia from the series as he celebrated the show’s upcoming second season.
