Melissa Sloan, 46, is a Welsh lady who has had a love/hate connection with a tattoo gun for the past 26 years.
Since she was twenty years old, she has been collecting tattoos.
Now that Sloan has accepted that she is socially outcast, she is well aware that the more successful she becomes, the more challenging her life will be.
“It’s like when you have a [cigarette] or a drink, you get addicted. I can’t stop it now, it’s addictive, for me anyway. I just can’t stop it,” said Sloan, adding that since tattoo parlors started denying her, because she’s “beyond help,” she got her own kit.
She continued, “I carry the [tattoo] gun around with me in the boot, I’ll get one in the car or anywhere.”

Sloan continues to have her partner give her three “tattoos prison style” every week despite the fact that she is unable to find gainful employment due to the extensive ink covering her body and face.
She has around 800 inks on her body.
Sloan stated that she once cleaned toilets for a living, but that she now rejects similar labor.
