Scots dad mocked for 'rubbish' tribute tattoo of Queen and Paddington Bear

A Scots dad who got a tribute tattoo of the Queen with Paddington Bear following the monarch's death has been ruthlessly mocked online for the "rubbish" design. Jon Malvern, who runs Tattoo Central in Benidorm, inked the image on the customer's calf on Monday, September 12.

The man's wife posted a picture of the tattoo to a Benidorm Facebook group, with the inking quickly going viral online.
