自定义帖子标记图像不显示

Using ACF i've added a custom image field to a particular set of custom post tags. The problem I have is that I cannot get the images to display. Yes, I have added an image to the tag and updated.

   $term_id = 26;
    $taxonomy_name = 'tags';
    $termchildren = get_term_children( $term_id, $taxonomy_name );

    foreach ( $termchildren as $child ) {

        $term = get_term_by( 'id', $child, $taxonomy_name );
        $tag_image = get_field('tag_image');
        echo '<a href="?categories=' . $term->slug . '">'. $term->name . '</a>';
        echo $tag_image; //this bit doesn't work :(


    }

Fixed, the new code is:

    <?php

        $term_id = 26;
        $taxonomy_name = 'tags';
        $termchildren = get_term_children( $term_id, $taxonomy_name );

        foreach ( $termchildren as $child ) {

            $term = get_term_by( 'id', $child, $taxonomy_name );
            $tag_image = get_field('tag_image', $term);
            echo '<a href="?categories=' . $term->slug . '" class="one-third column">'. $term->name;

        ?>

            <? if( !empty($tag_image) ): ?>

                <img src="<? echo the_field('tag_image', $term); ?>" />

            <?php endif; 

            echo '</a>';


         }

    ?> 

Resource for the fix was here http://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get-values-from-a-taxonomy-term/

 <?php

    $term_id = 26;
    $taxonomy_name = 'tags';
    $termchildren = get_term_children( $term_id, $taxonomy_name );

    foreach ( $termchildren as $child ) {

        $term = get_term_by( 'id', $child, $taxonomy_name );
        $tag_image = get_field('tag_image', $term);
        echo '<a href="?categories=' . $term->slug . '" class="one-third column">'. $term->name;

    ?>

        <? if( !empty($tag_image) ): ?>

            <img src="<? echo the_field('tag_image', $term); ?>" />

        <?php endif; 

        echo '</a>';


     }
