Greggs superfan missed bakery so much during lockdown she got logo tattooed on bum

A Greggs superfan who missed the bakery so much during the coronavirus lockdown decided to get their logo tattooed on her bum.

Caitlin Jones, 20, from Paisley, Scotland, was so happy to get her hands on her daily Greggs sausage roll after lockdown was lifted that she decided to mark the occasion, and her behind, with their logo.

The mum-of-one had the idea when the tattoo parlours finally re-opened seven weeks ago and immediately booked herself in for the first available appointment on Monday, September 14.

Caitlin, who is studying at a hairdressing college, says she has no regrets about the artwork despite online trolls calling it 'embarrassing'.

She said: "I'm obsessed with Greggs and I've always loved their sausage rolls.

"Before lockdown I used to get one nearly everyday so I was absolutely gutted when they closed for lockdown.

"I was more bothered about Greggs reopening than the pubs so I decided when the tattoo parlours re-opened that I was going to get something to share my love for them.

"Most people love it and think it's hilarious, the tattoo artist said to me he was buzzing to do it and other people have said it's iconic and that I'm a legend.

"Some people have said it's embarrassing but I got over that pretty quickly and I'm still in love with it."

The single mum to son, Brody, 11 months, paid £100 for the three inch by one inch ink work on her left bum cheek which took 90 minutes to complete.

After sharing pictures of her new keepsake on Facebook, Caitlin racked up nearly 3,000 likes and 1,800 shares but hasn't ruled out getting another Greggs tattoo in future.

She said: "I did have some doubts when I was going to get it and I toyed with the idea of getting a sausage roll on the other side too but I think I'll wait until the dust settles on this one first."
