No ink for Harry Potter star

Daniel Radcliffe's parents have banned him from having tattoos.

The 'Woman in Black' actor is a big fan of body art and would love to have a quote by his favourite playwright Samuel Beckett inked across his body, but he thinks his mum and dad would go ballistic if they found out.

He said: "I want the line from Beckett - 'Try, fail, try again and fail better' - either on my arm or chest. Although I shouldn't really talk about tattoos in case my mum and dad hear about it."

The 24-year-old star also revealed he is no longer fazed by 'Harry Potter' fans incessantly approaching him in public.

Daniel added: "I don't get nearly as annoyed as some of my friends do. All my friends think it's rude but I don't think twice about it. There will always be people with 'Harry Potter' books to sign and I have accepted that."

The actor previously said he thinks tattoos are "really, really cool", although he isn't such a fan of Harry Styles' multitude of random inkings - which include a ship, a giant butterfly and a pair of matching branches on his hips.

When the One Direction singer's tattoos were described to him, Daniel joked: "Like prison tattoos? Isn't that what you have when you've done five years?"
