Our inked-up heroine has spent the last ten years creating her extreme look, as the Daily Star revealed. She gets three tattoos a week on average, which may surprise you. What a commitment! She drives her van sometimes and lives at home, because why not?

What transpired then when she concealed her tattoos? Her family was not overly happy. To throw things off, she spent £3 on foundation and carefully covered up her tattoos. However, pandemonium struck as she revealed her face clear of ink. “The kids went crazy,” Sloan said. Not even her partner shared her views. “No, that’s not how you look. Reapply your tattoos; they seem strange. The dog looked twice as the children sobbed.
Consider that overly dramatic? Things improve. In fact, Sloan’s youngest child was afraid of her new appearance. She made an effort, but her kids were completely terrified with her momentary metamorphosis. and taking off the heavy foundation? It required a full day.
Sloan responded to the neighborhood trolls who made fun of her tattoos with style: “They said my kids are scared of my tattoos, but they were scared of me with the foundation on!”
Ever the brave one, she tried the tattoo-free appearance again, but this time she made sure her kids weren’t around. Still, the decision was the same. “‘Go back to your madness, Mom,’ they said. They refused to engage with me, acting as though I were a stranger, she revealed.
After she took out the foundation, everything was back to normal. Sloan pondered, “It should have been the other way around.”
She now applies the correct tattoo foundation—this is heavy, cement-like substance. She’s got a lot on her plate, and she doesn’t plan on quitting her inked self anytime soon.
Her new, more natural look elicited mixed comments from viewers, with many praising her makeover. Still, Sloan is not persuaded. At the end of the day, she says, it’s my life. “I like it crazy, but people said I looked beautiful before.”
That’s the tale of ink, identity, and a family that adores their mother for who she is. How do you feel about Melissa Sloan’s tattoo experience? Whether you like it or not, this is a tale that needs to be told.
