Actor Daniel Radcliffe's parents have banned him from getting himself inked even though he's a fan of body art.

The 24-year-old actor would love to have a quote by his favourite playwright Samuel Beckett etched across his body, but he says his mother and father would be angry if they found out, reports contactmusic.com.

"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," Daily Star has quoted Radcliffe as saying.

The `Woman in Black` star also said he is no longer fazed by `Harry Potter` fans approaching him in public because he's accepted his high level of fame.

"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,` he said.
