Feb 14, 2015:  A fanatical Coronation Street fan has inked the faces of all his favourite characters painstakingly down his wife’s leg.

Devoted Corrie fans Lindsay and Steve Pearce, from Canada, have spent hours creating the skin-based tribute to their favourite Mancunian show.

 

 

Steve, who runs his own tattoo studio in Calgary, has etched images of characters in the soap onto his wife Lindsay’s leg.

The pair, who say their shared love of Weatherfield helps keep their marriage together, took on the project ahead of a visit to Manchester this year.

 

They will be finishing the inky masterpiece in front of an audience at the Tattoo Tea Party, held at Event City near the Trafford Centre over three days from February 28 to March 1, reports Manchester Evening News.

The pair also plan to fit in a visit to the Coronation Street Tour while they are in town.

Steve, whose tattoo studio is called Immaculate Concept, said: “We thought is would be a cool idea to do a Coronation Street Tattoo before we left and maybe finish it at the show.

“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.

“We got close to finishing the piece but will definitely work on it at the show and once we get back home.

 

“We look forward to returning to the Manchester Tea Party in 2016 with a fully complete Coronation Street tattoo with background images and maybe a few new additions.”

Wife Lindsay, who credits their shared love of the soap with keeping their marriage together, said: “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.”
