Bailey Dale's Tat, any clues?

[Insufficient Intent]

In a new Mark McGowan article on the AFL website about our reformed kicking:
https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-08-31/attack-dogs-the-scoring-surge-thats-got-the-kennel-barking-again
the first shot's of Bailey celebrating one of his goals kicked against the Jabbers recently.

The shot shows a minimalist tatoo (by Collingwood standards, anyway) on his inner left forearm, consisting of a diagonal cross with a single letter in each sector: Despite zooming in, I'm unsure of the letter at 12 o'clock, but I think it's an L. Then a T at 3, an M at 6 and an H at 9 o'clock.

Does anyone know the significance, or can anyone decipher it?

If it's got anything to do with goal kicking, it's working! Keep it up Bailey D!

Don't know keep getting excited by a depressed Dylan Shiel in the background.

Likely something personal.

[LostDoggy]

Don't know what it means but he has had it for ages.

I think that LTMH means "listen to my heart."


It did when I was at tattooing age anyway because a couple of people I knew got it. I got a Bulldog on my shoulder and a Black Flag symbol on my leg though.

Thanks, TD for a knowledgable opinion. Simple and straightforward answer.

Can I possibly ask the significance of the Black Flag tattoo at the time you had it done?:confused: The Bulldog goes without saying!

Fairly sure it would be in reference to the punk band Black Flag and not literally a "black flag"

Yep, it's a symbol of a band called Black Flag-four upright bars alongside each other. Black Flag was Henry Rollins vehicle to notoriety.

Maybe Bailey’s a Roxette fan then.

I've got a similar tattoo on my wrist, but different initials. One for my wife and 3 kids, its sort of my moral compass.

What's a moral compass?

My family is my moral compass.

It looks like a NYHC tattoo - maybe a straight edge thing?

Speaking of ink, the goss has it our number 35 may have acquired something on his lower right arm.

Could have sworn you needed to be a grown up to get a tattoo.

[bulldogsthru&thru]

He’s just signed on???

Edit: yes he has for 3 years

Could have sworn you needed to be a grown up to get a tattoo.

I went to Sunshine to get a tatt years ago. I spoke to a kid who would have been all of 16 years of age, explained what I wanted and left him to organize it while I went and got a coffee. I rocked back about 30 minutes later, the kid shows me a mock up of what I asked for and I said it looked fine.

Then he fires up the tattoo gun (it was a long time ago when the method of tattooing involved carving the skin open and then filling it with ink, it could be a real bastard because A/ it hurt a lot and B/ you would then have to wait for the skin/wound to heal) and I said "hang on, what are you planning on doing with that?" and he said "the tattoo" I asked him how old he was and he said 16. and I told him to stay away from with that until you are an adult.

He ended up showing me some of the work he'd done in the past and it looked great so I ended up letting him tattoo me. But you're right tatts are for grown ups

My wife is upset over this news.

I hope Bailey gets a kick this weekend.

Something tells me he may struggle.
