Mum addicted to tattoos 'forced to watch her children's school play through the window'

A mum of two who is covered in tattoos claims she was made to watch her children's school nativity play through the window because she wasn't welcome inside due to her alternative appearance. Melissa Sloan says she is targeted by cruel trolls both online and in real life because of her face inkings.

As well as allegedly being banned from local pubs because of the way she looks, the tattoo-addict says she is also unable to find a job and has been called a "freak" in public in front of her children, the Daily Star reports. Despite being the season of goodwill, Christmastime is no better for the 45-year-old, from Wales.

Melissa says she is excluded from Christmas parties and doesn't get invited to parent gatherings at her children's school. The outcast mum claims she was also made to watch her children's Christmas performance through the school window because she wasn't welcome inside.
