A mum who jokes that she's " addicted " to getting tattoos has stunned with a photo of what she looked like before her extensive inkings - and the difference is staggering. Melissa Sloan, 45, says she "can't get a job" because of the designs that cover most of her body, including her face.
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.
She said that she gets funny looks in the street and people can be mean, but that won't stop her either and soon she's going to get another tattoo - this time of a crucifix, and it'll be just below her right eye.
