“I admire great artists and [Prince] was a great artist,” Helen told the Washington Post at the special event, adding she created her faux tattoo by hand earlier that morning. “I’d love to say that Prince himself [made it] in 1988 or something, instead of me in the bathroom this morning,” she joked.
