Mother with 800 tattoos considered a weirdo exposes everything about them

Despite being ridiculed and bullied by individuals who refer to her as a “freak,” a mother’s two devoted children continue to look up to her.

The woman does not possess any inherent physical abnormalities. Instead, she is entirely adorned with “prison-style” tattoos, and despite her inability to secure employment and the vitriolic abuse she endures each time she leaves her home, she is unable to prevent herself from acquiring additional tattoos, claiming that she is an addict.

Melissa Sloan, a 46-year-old woman from Wales, has no remorse for her 26-year destructive relationship with a tattoo machine. Since the age of 20, she has been receiving tattoos. Sloan now acknowledges that she is ostracized by society. Despite her realization that the more she attains, the more challenging life becomes, she continues to persist.

“It is akin to the addiction that occurs when one consumes a cigarette or beverage.” I am unable to halt the process at this time; it is addictive, at least for me. Sloan stated, “I am unable to stop.” She also mentioned that she acquired her own equipment after tattoo parlors began to refuse her services due to her “incapacity.” She continued, “I keep the [tattoo] gun in the boot of my car, and I will retrieve it from any location.”

Sloan, despite her inability to secure employment, continues to have her beau administer three “prison-style” tattoos to her every week, resulting in a somewhat haphazard ink job on her face and body. She possesses over 800 tattoos.

Sloan disclosed that she was previously employed as a lavatory scrubber; however, she has since declined comparable positions.

“I am unable to secure employment.” They will not accept me. Because of my tattoos, I was denied employment as a lavatory cleaner in my hometown.Individuals have asserted that I have never held a job in my existence; however, I have only held one position, and it was brief. She continued, “However, if someone were to extend an employment offer to me tomorrow, I would accept it.”

Sloan reported that, in addition to her inability to secure employment, she is subjected to verbal abuse and ridicule, as well as stares and pointing.

“Even worse, the more I possess, the more they perceive me as an eccentric.” They leap out of the way, and I am left wondering, “What is the purpose of that?” “It is absolutely appalling,” she declared. “I anticipated this outcome in my life; I am unable to assimilate with others due to my preference for authenticity. I will continue to be who I am.”

Additionally, Sloan alleges that she has been prohibited from attending school events and being restricted from local establishments, where her two young children, aged eight and 10, may have participated. She is undeterred by this.

Sloan’s children have already developed an appreciation for body art, which she fosters by serving as a role model and influencing them.

Sloan expressed her intention to permit the children to receive temporary tattoos, stating, “They received some on their arms last night. They have school, so they will need to remove them.” She also expressed her intention to implement permanent art in the future. “I assure them that they will have superior ones as they mature.”

Prior to receiving her tattoos, she was a woman of unremarkable appearance. She posted images of her pre-tattoo visage on her Instagram account. If you were acquainted with her at that time, she appears to be scarcely recognizable.
