Mum says she’s been ‘banned from the pub’ for having too many face tattoos
A mum says her Christmas has been ruined because she’s been ‘banned from her local’ for having too many tattoos.
Melissa Sloane, from Kidderminster in Worcestershire, has 800 of them covering her face and head.
The mum-of-seven bought a tattoo gun on Amazon and covers herself in at least three new tattoos each week.
Despite being mocked by other mums on the school run and being unable to attend Christmas parties at her local pub, she is determined to keep tattooing herself.
‘Because of who I am, I don’t get invited to Christmas parties,’ she said.
‘I want to enjoy myself and go for a drink at the pub, but they won’t even let me in.’
Melissa’s skin has been falling off recently because of tattoos not healing properly – but it hasn’t stopped her loving her colourful face.
Despite her skin infections, she still inks in new tattoos on open wounds because she is impatient.
While some of her tattoos are done professionally, she likes to get the rest of her family involved.
She has allowed partner Luke, 56, and two of her children who are in primary school to ink some on her.
But she admits it has been difficult trying to find a job with all her tattoos, which include marijuana symbols and playboy bunnies.
