Giant Taggart tattoo wins Scottish award

A Taggart fan won an award for the best Scottish-themed tattoo after having actor Mark McManus' face inked on his back alongside the Finnieston crane.

From the picture, we can see that the the design is really vivid. It designed by John Cuthbert, 34, who beat competition from designs featuring Braveheart and caramel wafers at the Scottish Tattoo Convention in Edinburgh.

He said the show summed up Glasgow and that McManus, who played Det Ch Insp Jim Taggart, was "amazing".

Organisers said it was the "perfect embodiment of a Scottish tattoo".

The father-of-one from Bearsden, who has 60% of his body covered in ink, said the tattoo arose from a chat with friend Mark Wallace, who works at a tattoo studio in Glasgow.

Many people want to have a beautiful design which matches them well. But a lot of people does not have good idea about it. The picture designed by John Cuthbert feels comfortable. The outline is soft and the gray color is full of attraction.

The picture here is a real art, I am wondering how can John Cuthbert do this good work. The award is worth for him.

Making such a tattoo design, the tattoo kits must be of high quality, especially the tattoo ink. Make sure only a superior tattoo kit and an excellent tattoo skill can make up a great tattoo design.
About this tattoo design, Mr Cuthbert, an IT worker, said his Glasgow-themed tattoo was not yet complete. It's got the Glasgow skyline alongside McManus's face - who for me is just amazing. But James MacPherson is also good and will be added later along with other iconic references to Glasgow.

Taggart is something that every Scotsman knows and it's pretty much unique to our country.
Mark McManus played the lead role in the ITV drama for 11 years.
James MacPherson was his right-hand man as Det Michael Jardine, and became the central character following McManus's death in 1994, aged 59.
The two-day tattoo convention took place at Edinburgh's Corn Exchange.
