    Bailey Dale's Tat, any clues?

    In a new Mark McGowan article on the AFL website about our reformed kicking:

    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.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

        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.
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

          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? The Bulldog goes without saying!

            Fairly sure it would be in reference to the punk band Black Flag and not literally a "black flag"
            More of an In Bruges guy?

              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.
                  The curse is dead.

                    What's a moral compass?
                    Park that car
                    Drop that phone
                    Sleep on the floor
                    Dream about me

                          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.
