Melissa Sloan, known as Britain’s “most tattooed mother,” shocked everyone by sharing a picture of herself without her usual tattoos, and the difference is amazing.
Sloan has been getting tattoos for about ten years and has over 800 of them now.
As a mother of seven, she mentioned that she has been getting three tattoos every week for the last ten years. In fact, she said she can’t even remember what she looked like before all the ink covered her face and body.
Sloan decided to cover her tattoos using foundation makeup, something she only spent £3 on.
Many people who hadn’t seen her before she got the tattoos, including her two young sons, were shocked by how different she looked. However, that didn’t mean they liked her new appearance.
In an interview with the Daily Star, Sloan shared, “That day, nobody talked to me. The kids were really upset. It didn’t go well at all.
“They told me, ‘Go back to your old self, Mom.’ They didn’t say a word to me. It felt like they were looking at someone they didn’t know.
“When I took the tattoos off, everything went back to normal – it should have been the other way around,” she explained.
Sloan’s five older kids aren’t too thrilled about their mom’s tattoos. In fact, she doesn’t even talk to them anymore.
People who have looked at her before and after pictures say she was really pretty without the tattoos.
But Sloan just wanted to try something different. She feels good about her tattoos and doesn’t regret getting them, even though some mean people call her names like ‘smurf’ or ‘freak.’
Her tattoos symbolize freedom, creativity, and strength in the face of judgment.
Sloan knows that some people might not appreciate or understand how she looks, but that doesn’t bother her. She believes in being true to herself, and her tattoos show her kids that it’s important to celebrate their individuality since beauty can be found in many different ways.
