Mum who 'can't get a job because of her tattoos' refused entry to pubs as people get scared

A mum who jokes that she's " addicted " to getting tattoos has been banned from all the pubs in her local area - because the 'posh' customers are scared of her appearance. Melissa Sloan, 45, says she "can't get a job" because of the designs that cover most of her body, including her face. She's been inked so many times that she's lost count of the tattoos she has.

Over the years, she's spent countless hours under the needle and she's even started going over her old designs as she's run out of space - but while others might give up at this point, Melissa's not done yet. Recently she had five crosses inked onto her face - some of which are upside down - to "keep the haters away" after plenty of funny looks on the street from strangers.

Previously, Melissa shared how she struggled to get a job due to her extensive inkings, but now she's revealed that she can't even go into pubs in her local area as the landlords think she scares away custom.
