Mum 'burst into tears' after tattoo of late nan looked 'more like Rod Stewart'

A mum was devastated after she paid £250 for a tattoo of her nan that ended up looking 'more like Rod Stewart'.

Sarah Jackson, 38, wanted a permanent reminder of her nan Thelma Jackson, who died in November 2019, so she paid for a giant portrait to be tattooed on her upper arm. When Sarah, from Warrington, was shown a photo of the finished product, she "burst into tears" and has since been too embarrassed to wear any clothes that would reveal it.

She wanted the portrait inked by her regular tattooist but he was on a break when she booked it. A family recommendation and impressive Facebook photos made her choose Creative Tattoo Warrington, where she paid a £160 deposit and £90 on the appointment date in March.
