A TATTOO fanatic who has 11 autographed pictures of celebrities on his body hopes to add Alice Cooper's tonight.

Steve Porter has 24 tattoos of actors and rock stars covering his body and nearly half of them have been signed by the celebrities themselves.

The 41-year-old, from Strelley, will wait outside Nottingham's Royal Concert Hall ahead of tonight's gig to add his 12th celebrity etching to his body.

Mr Porter tours concerts and autograph signings where he asks the celebrities to sign his tattoos with a marker pen.

The civil servant then heads straight to his tattoo parlour to have them etched permanently on to his skin.

So far, stars who have signed their names include Ozzy Osbourne and musician Andrea Corr.
