Beatle fan gets McCartney tattoo

West Chester - A US woman has had Paul McCartney's signature permanently etched onto her body by a tattoo artist after the musical icon answered her pleas to sign her back.

Rose Ann Belluso took a sign to McCartney's show Sunday in Philadelphia requesting he sign her back with a marker she'd brought along. When McCartney called her up on stage and obliged, the Downingtown woman decided to make it last forever.

A tattoo artist at Extreme Ink Tattoo Parlour in West Chester went over the signature on Monday.

Belluso says the painful procedure was a no-brainer after McCartney answered her request.

Besides the birth of her two sons, Belluso says getting McCartney's signature was the best experience of her life - and her first tattoo.
