To say Penticton resident Lori Capozzi is a huge Bryan Adams fan may be an understatement.

Shesa国际传媒檚 seen the Canadian singer in concert more times than she can count but this time when the Canadian superstar was coming to her hometown, she knew she had to make it extra special.

Right away, Capozzi got floor seats but this time she made sure she was in the front row.

She created a sign that read: sa国际传媒楤ryan I want your autograph to be my next tattoo.sa国际传媒� She held up her sign at the sold-out Sept. 11 concert in Penticton.

Adams noticed and then called her on stage.

sa国际传媒淚 never, ever expected Bryan to pull me up on stage and autograph my shoulder,sa国际传媒� said Capozzi. sa国际传媒淚 saw him look at the sign a few times. My husband told me, sa国际传媒業t will never happen,sa国际传媒� and I replied, sa国际传媒楲et me have fun trying.sa国际传媒漵a国际传媒�

sa国际传媒淪o when Bryan started reading my sign, I started panicking saying, sa国际传媒業s this really going to happen? I was so nervous I had a hard time making eye contact. But Bryan made that easier as he was making all the eye contact. I have to admit I was a little lost for words.sa国际传媒�

Adams used a Sharpie and signed her shoulder.

It was a sa国际传媒榙ream come true,sa国际传媒� said Capozzi who also managed a quick hug with the superstar.

And true to her word, she took that autograph and turned it into a permanent tattoo.

Penticton tattoo artist Corey Hounslow got the job done.

sa国际传媒淭hank you Bryan for making this a night I will never forget,sa国际传媒� said Capozzi. sa国际传媒淭hank you Corey for coming out of retirement to do the tattoo.sa国际传媒�

Adams was the second concert she ever saw in 1986 when she was 16 years old.

sa国际传媒淵ou have always been my favourite artist,sa国际传媒� she said on her Facebook page.

So what could top this experience?

sa国际传媒淭he only thing that would ever top this is to see Bryan Adams again in concert, front row and to be able to go on stage again and show him my tattoo, and let him know I stay true to my word,sa国际传媒� she said.
