Scots mum gets Greggs logo tattooed on her bum after missing it so much during lockdown

A Scots mum missed Greggs so much during lockdown that she got a tattoo on her BUM of the logo.

Caitlin Jones couldn't contain her excitement when the baked goods chain re-opened seven weeks ago.

The mum-of-thee booked herself in to get inked on the first available appointment on September 14.

Caitlin, from Paisley, Renfrewshire, said despite cruel jibes from online followers, she has no regrets over the unusual body art.

The hairdressing student 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."
