• Nvidia co-founder and CEO Jensen Huang had a wide-ranging interview with host Ryan Patel for HP's online show "The Moment." 
• The CEO spoke about his sartorial choices, including his signature black leather jacket and Nvidia tattoo. 
• However, he told the host he's unlikely to get inked again. "It hurts way more than anybody tells you."

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang got a tattoo of the company logo when its stock price hit $100 apiece — but he's probably not looking to get inked again.

"So you've got a tattoo of the company logo on your arm. What's next?" asked host Ryan Patel question during a wide-ranging interview for HP's online show "The Moment" that was posted on YouTube on October 26.

"Ageing gracefully. No more tattoos," the 60-year-old shot back. "It hurts way more than anybody tells you," Huang added. 

 

This isn't the first time Huang has complained about his tattoo.

Back in November 2017, he told Fortune he wanted to extend the tattoo but recalled "crying like a baby" during the process.

"My kids were with me, and they're like, 'Dad, you've gotta control yourself,'" he told the media outlet.

It's not immediately clear when Huang got the current tattoo on his left arm. Nvidia's stock has split five times since the company went public in 1999. Nvidia's stock is now $411.61 apiece, nearly doubling this year following the company's blockbuster first-quarter and second-quarter results from the generative artificial intelligence boom.

The stock surge has, in turn, boosted Huang's fortune by 166% this year — his estimated net worth is $36.7 billion as of October 31, according to Bloomberg's Billionaires Index.

The tattoo, alongside his black leather jacket, underpins Huang's rebellious signature motorcyclist aesthetic.

When asked how he felt about his status as a fashion icon thanks to his jacket, Huang had a modest response: "Don't give me that. I'm happy that my wife and my daughter dress me."

Nvidia's share price closed 1.6% higher at $411.61 apiece on Monday. The stock is up over 180% so far this year.
