A mum-of-three went to extreme lengths to ensure her dad would enjoy free meals for a year at his favourite curry house – by getting a tattoo of their logo.<\/p>\n

Beth Faulds, 30, got herself inked with the unique design after searching for gift ideas for dad Norman who has been a regular at the restaurant for almost 50 years.<\/p>\n

After coming across a Facebook post, where the Shish Mahal in Glasgow promised free curries to anyone who got a tattoo of the restaurant, Beth immediately jumped at the idea.<\/p>\n

The mum of three, from Glasgow, said: “My dad is notoriously difficult to buy gifts for and I had been thinking hard about what to get him.<\/p>\n

“I normally get him your standard dad gifts — like whisky, ties and socks — and he’d place it down and forget about it. So, I wanted to get him something a bit more imaginative.<\/p>\n

\"beth\"<\/a> \"Beth-Faulds\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“I already had a couple of lilies on my hip to symbolise my mother and was struggling to think of an appropriate symbol for my dad.<\/p>\n

“And that’s when I remembered the Facebook post from the Shish Mahal that promised free curries to anyone who got a tattoo of the restaurant.<\/p>\n

“So, it’s taken pride of place alongside the lilies on my right hip as two symbols of my parents.”<\/p>\n

Beth works as a senior telemarketer at her dad Norman’s marketing firm in Glasgow and gave up her rights to free curry to her dad.<\/p>\n

Norman Ferguson, 66, said: “It’s somewhere I’ve been going since I was a poor biology student at the University of Glasgow in 1967.<\/p>\n

“I’ve seen that staff grow up and just can’t believe how consistent they’ve been since opening.<\/p>\n

“Now that I’ve got free reign to go whenever I want, I’ll still go once a week with as much of the family as I can — and whenever I happen to be in the area.<\/p>\n

“I’m afraid that I’m a bit of a dinosaur when it comes to my order and always go for a minced lamb Methi.”<\/p>\n

Shish Mahal is a Glaswegian institution and it’s owners claim to have invented chicken tikka masala in the early 1970s.<\/p>\n

The restaurant also makes the curry of choice for many celebrities, with recent visits from actor Billy Boyd and comedian Kevin Bridges as well as a previous surprise visit from Hollywood star Morgan Freeman.<\/p>\n

Owner Asif Ali said: “I was driving down Great Western Road towards the end of last year and spotted a tattoo parlour.<\/p>\n

“I thought to myself ‘I wonder who would be crazy enough to get one of those?’<\/p>\n

“I wondered if anyone would get a tattoo of our restaurant.<\/p>\n

“I posted it on our Facebook page, thinking that no one would take us up on it but am deeply honoured that they did it.<\/p>\n

Asif added : “If someone else was to get a tattoo of the restaurant then we would consider given them free curry as well.”<\/p>\n
