Fans around the world were devastated when Motörhead founder and frontman Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister died aged 70 last December.

And The Walking Dead actor Norman Reedus has decided to pay tribute to the late rocker by getting a tattoo tribute in his honour, joined by Mastodon guitarist Brent Hinds.

Norman and his close pal visited the Abracadabra Tattoo shop in New Orleans over the weekend in order to get matching inkings commemorating the Ace Of Spades hitmaker.

Sharing a snap of themselves before being subjected to the needle, Brent posted, 'Making tattoos of Lemmy ♠'.

The tattoo studio also posted an image of Norman looking cool, calm and collected after his inking, as well as a close up of the finished product on his chest.

'Just did a funny little Lemmy tattoo on Norman Reedus @bigbaldhead', they wrote.

The pair were in New Orleans to film AMC's new biker show, which sees the 47-year-old exploring the local motorcycle culture in cities around the US.

Norman recently opened up about his close friendship with the Walking Dead's leading actor Andrew Lincoln, revealing the pair regularly play pranks on each other.

The actor confessed his favourite joke while filming the zombie apocalypse show is to sneak into Andrew's car and surprise him.

'He was trying to plot, but he’s really bad at it to be honest', Norman explained during an appearance on The Late Late Show.

'So the last day of shooting for this latest season, he walked into his trailer and I’d filled it full of chickens.'
