With more than 800 self-made tattoos, British Melissa Sloan (45) has become a household name.

– Why can't I get a job?

The tattoo results in her being kicked out of her children's Christmas tree party and not being welcomed at the local pub.

The mother of seven cannot get a job either.

Now she is making headlines again, Jam Press reported.

Thick layer

Melissa Sloan, who lives in Kidderminster in central England, says she is tired of being treated poorly because of her appearance.

She recently decided to start covering all of her tattoos with a thick layer of makeup.

Every time she leaves the house, she applies foundation to her face.

-I do that most of the time now. It depends on the mood, she says.

Sloan says she enjoys blending in with the crowd.

– She says: – I love how I look with all the makeup.

– I will not go anywhere

Despite the fact that Melissa Sloan now covers up when she goes out in public, she has no plans to remove the tattoo permanently.

– People think I look prettier without tattoos, but my tattoos aren't going anywhere, she stresses.

She says her seven children like it better with all the tattoos visible.

– When I hid the tattoo, the kids didn't talk to me for a whole day. They didn't like makeup. She says my friend didn't like it either.

Despite the fact that Melissa Joan increasingly wears makeup on her face, she does not plan to stop tattooing.

– I'll never stop, you say.
