A mother who describes herself as ' addicted ' to tattoos said she can't land a job thanks to her extreme look.
However, that won't stop her getting inked - and currently gets three new 'prison style' designs a week.
Melissa Sloan, 45, has got tatts all over her body, including a number of brave designs with flowers and an England flag all over her face.

The mother-of-two, originally from Wales, said that her art pieces are mainly done "prison style" by her boyfriend at home.
She has a massive Kray twins piece inked on her leg, another dedicated to Playboy bunnies, and multiple marijuana leaves on her head - and she says the collection will continue to grow.
Melissa told the Daily Star UK: "I have three tattoos a week. It's like when you have a fag or a drink, you get addicted. I can't stop it now, it's addictive, for me anyway. I just can't stop it.
"I carry the [tattoo] gun around with me in the boot, I'll get one in the car or anywhere. My boyfriend does them, he does my tattoos prison style."
She continued: "I can't get a job. They won't have me. I applied for a job cleaning toilets where I live and they won’t have me because of my tattoos.
"The first job I had was cleaning ages ago, cleaning toilets. People have said I have never had a job in my life, I have had one once and it didn't last long.
"But, if someone offered me a job tomorrow I would go and work – I would take that offer.
"I expected this in life, I can't fit in with people as I like to be me and I'm always going to be myself.
"They don't have to listen to me. But I'm not going anywhere."
