There are many reasons to get a tattoo. It could be to identify oneself or to honor a loved one. However, a new survey by Oxygen Network and Lightspeed research purports that 59 percent of women have tattoos compared to only 41 percent of men.
According to reports , a mother in Wales, UK, who was “addicted” to tattoos was instructed to observe her child’s Christmas nativity play from the classroom window through the school’s back garden. Melissa Sloan, a 45-year-old mother of two, claims to have 800 tattoos on her body and gets three new ones weekly. Her face is entirely covered in ink.

Why She’s Obsessed With Tattoos?
Sloan has picked an interesting way to live life. The 45-year-old and a mother of seven children is addicted to tattoos and promised not to stop until she’s covered up in different tattoos.
In her golden word to The Sun , Sloan said “I’ll keep going as long as I live.”
She abides by the adage “you only live once” and is dedicated to enjoying herself.
Barred From School Event
Sloan described the insensitive manner she was treated by on-site instructors at school who would not offer her a seat in the main hall and made reference to the flower tattoos on her face by telling to her to go back to the “garden”.
“Look through the class window,” they told her. Sloan continued saying that she doesn’t attend the school play—the teachers told her to do it.
Sloan mentioned that she frequently faces restrictions on attending the children’s school functions, either formally or due to the overt stares of other parents and kids. She feels uncomfortable being the subject of the surprise and intrigue around her entrance.
Not Able To Get Employed
This is not the first time she has garnered attention. Sloan previously made headlines when she alleged that her face tattoos prevented her from finding employment.
She claimed to The Mirror that she is still unable to find employment due to her tattoos and that they prevent her from entering local bars. In the upscale bars, they complain that it offends them and don’t like it. Although, she pays no attention.
