All right.
I want to talk to someone in my audience,
but we're going to play a game to get them down here.
Everyone, stand up.
All right.
Stay standing if you're a gigantic fan of mine.
[CHEERING]
Did anyone sit down?
Because I want to know.
All right.
This should do it.
Stay standing if you have a tattoo of me on your body.
Whoo!
[LAUGHTER]
[CHEERING]
Alex, you and your wife come on down here.
[CHEERING]
[MUSIC PLAYING]
How are you?
[INAUDIBLE]
All right.
So I have to tell everybody the story.
I met Alex.
I went to Miami, and I was at the Hard Rock Hotel.
I did a Q&A, and I was having lunch.
And people were lining up to go see the event,
and I was right next to that.
I saw this guy with a huge, huge poster with my face on it
and a bunch of people on the show--
this poster right there.
And then he points to me, because I'm
in a different section behind glass.
And he points to me, and he says,
I have a tattoo on my arm.
And so I went out and met Alex, and took a picture.
Here's the tattoo right here.
So I went out to meet Alex with his family.
That's when I had a tan.
I was--
[LAUGHTER]
I said I was in Miami.
So let's talk about this.
So how did your wife feel when you got a tattoo of me
on your arm?
Well, I think you should ask her.
I don't know.
How did you feel?
I thought he was crazy at first.
But I said, well, if you're going
to get another woman's face on your arm, at least it's Ellen.
So I was super fine with that.
OK.
I was excited about it.
[CHEERING]
And what I love is that you came to see me,
and your daughter-- you have a 16-year-old daughter.
And she's right there in the audience.
And she's in the audience.
Hi.
So you doubted that he was going to get to meet me.
He kept saying--
Yeah.
--I'm making this poster.
You said, you're wasting your time.
You're wasting your money.
You're never going to meet her.
Really, of all the places that-- it's a big hotel.
Of all the places that I decided to eat,
it happened to be right next to where everybody was lining up,
which was not a great idea.
[LAUGHTER]
But then it turned out that it was,
because then I got to meet--
I never would have met him otherwise.
And I know how much you love the show,
and you have a tattoo of me, which is really sweet.
I know you want another tattoo--
Yes.
--so I have a surprise for you.
We reached out to a show called Ink Master.
It's on the Paramount Network.
And they sent over someone who's going
to take care of that for you.
Please welcome the two-time Ink Master champion DJ Tambe.
[MUSIC - THE ROLLING STONES, "PAINT IT BLACK"]
(SINGING) I see the girls walk by
dressed in their summer clothes.
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes.
I see a line of cars and they're--
All right.
[CHEERING]
All right.
So you saw the tattoo he has.
Yes.
So what do you think of that tattoo?
I think it healed a little dark.
With portraits, they're tough.
Ultimately, it's ink under the skin.
It's tough.
It's not on paper.
All right.
Well, this guy is going to give you another tattoo.
And he's got-- he's the best.
So I'm not making you get a ta-- don't think I'm saying,
get another tattoo.
This was his idea.
I want to get another one, too.
Yes.
I want to get a better one--
Pretty humble.
--with a clearer face.
Right.
Better face.
Right.
So you're going to get another tattoo--
Oh, wow.
Thank you.
--and this guy is going to do it.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
Also, I have something else for you as well.
Our friends at Shutterfly want to help your family out
with a check for $10,000.
[CHEERING]
Thank you so much.
Oh, my God.
Thank you.
We'll be right back.
