Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody wants to get a tattoo of the film's sexy star Ellen Page on her arm.

The former stripper - who won Best Original Screenplay at Sunday's Academy Award ceremony - already sports an etching of a busty redhead on her arm and now wants to add to her collection.

A source close to Diablo told the New York Post newspaper: "She is talking about getting a tattoo of Ellen Page's face. She keeps going, 'Wouldn't it look great?'"

Diablo's admiration of Ellen, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role in the film, appears to be mutual.

Ellen recently revealed she fell in love with the script as soon as she read it.

The young actress told Luminomagazine.com: "When I get excited about something and I want to play a role, I have to get emotionally connected to it. I know it's corny, but I really need to connect my heart to that person's heart.

"This is one of the best experiences I've had making a film for sure. I couldn't be more grateful being in this film, truly, because I was in love with this script."
