A Canadian Coronation Street fan hailing from Calgary has had five classic characters' faces tattooed on her leg in tribute to the Manchester-based soap.

And we're almost tempted by the Norris one...

Lindsay Pearce, 38, has portraits of the late Hayley Cropper (played by Julie Hesmondhalgh), Roy Cropper (David Neilson), Rita Sullivan (Barbara Knox), Betty Williams (played by the late Betty Driver) and Norris Cole (Malcolm Hebden) inked down her left thigh.

And it was Pearce's tattoo artist husband Steve who did the inking.
Speaking about the designs, Steve admitted: "The hard part was narrowing down the characters we wanted to use causing the piece to keep getting larger and larger.

"We have fit as many classic characters as we could but may add some more in the future."
Lindsay added: "We both lead pretty busy lives running a couple of businesses but we always manage to meet up at the end of a busy day to watch Corrie."
The Corrie-centric couple will be travelling to Manchester at the end of the month to reveal the portrait tattoos at a Tattoo Tea Party in the city.
She must be getting Dev done next..
