The Richmond Tigers are still pretty much in full celebration mode following their incredible AFL Grand Final win a few weeks ago, and while scores of fans have already done so, a member of Dustin Martin‘s family has finally made the trip to the tattoo chair to immortalise the win.
Martin’s Nan, 70-year-old Lois Knight, made a promise a little while ago that she’d bite the bullet and get her first-ever tattoo – mimicking the many that her grandson sports – to commemorate the lad’s incredible 2017 season.
Knight, who is utterly adorable would you believe, reportedly made good on the promise this week.
Dusty’s Nan visited the tattoo store owned by former Tiger Jake King to ink up for the historic Richmond season in which Dusty not only captured a Premiership flag, but a Brownlow and Norm Smith medal as well.
Nanna Lois got herself a yellow number 4, Dusty’s jumper number, with the phrases “Premiers 2017,” “Brownlow,” and “Norm Smith” making up each of the three bars of the figure. It’s obviously not a giant tough sticker – a small figure reportedly on her upper back – but it’s the gesture that counts with all these sorts of things.

Naaaaaawwwwww NAN.
Lois was interview by Channel Nine on Brownlow Medal night at the local pub in Campbell’s Creek – Dusty’s home town – where they were celebrating with, wait for it…
…Dustin Martinis.
