Jackie and Steph have beaten everyone to it and put tattoo needle to skin. Stephanie went for Russell’s initials on her tummy, and as a nod to Russell’s idea (he was planning to have a tattoo of the family’s initials) Jackie’s gone for exactly that but with Russell’s picked out in red.

Hats off to Steph for going first and having Russ’s initials inscribed on her tummy. Mini Haigh, you’re a mini legend…
Mum's tribute to Russ

Russ, being a sweetie as usual, was planning to have the family’s initials (”C J L M R S”) down his spine. In appreciation of that, Ma went for her own version (just the kids) on her hip. Having the R in red is superstitious, it both highlights him and yet remains the only letter in that colour.
