Believe it or not, we've been doing this thing called DIG for over 30 years now and we thought it was about time to celebrate. Along with our good friends and Glasgow neighbours, BSD and The Loading Bay, we got together 30 years of our favourite DIG photos and articles along with hundreds of DIG tattoos for a one off exhibition in our hometown.
