A woman with 800 tattoos reveals a new picture of herself without any ink – the difference is quite striking

Melissa Sloan, Britain’s “most tattooed mother,” revealed a photo of herself without her signature tattoos, and people are stunned by the striking difference.

Since she had first started getting tattoos some ten years ago, Sloan has had over 800.

According to this mother of seven, she has been having three tattoos a week for an entire decade.

What’s most, she said she didn’t remember how she looked like without the ink covering most of her face and body.

Sloan decided to cover her tattoos using foundation makeup, something she only spent £3 on.

 

Needless to say, those who didn’t know how she looked like before the tattoos, including her two young sons, were stunned by the difference, but that didn’t mean they liked her “new” look.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Sloan said, “None of them talked to me that day, the kids weren’t having none of it. It didn’t go down well.

“They said ‘go back to your craziness mum’, none of them spoke to me. It wasn’t the same, it’s like they were looking at a different person, a stranger.

“When it came off again, they were back to normal – it should have been the other way round,” she said.

Her tattoos are a representation of freedom, creativity, and strength against judgement.

Sloan is aware her appearance may not be liked or understood by everyone, but she isn’t concerned about that. She says she’s authentic and her tattoos teach her children to embrace their uniqueness because beauty comes in many forms.
