Since then, she never stopped adding tattoos.<\/p>\n<p>She had several designs of artworks like spiderwebs, crosses, cursive texts, and more, that were mostly done by her partner at home and they considered the design as \u201cprison style.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the time of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/real-life\/mum-addicted-tattoos-gets-three-27890571\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a>, Sloan said she gets over three tattoos every week, and she admitted that she got \u201caddicted\u201d and could not stop.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, her weekly habit turned for the worst as she couldn\u2019t get a job anymore. She also attempted to apply as a toilet cleaner near her place, but they didn\u2019t take her in because of her tattoos.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ads--middle\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"&quot;instagram-media&quot;\" data-embedded=\"&quot;&lt;blockquote\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CbkSVFaD8Yd\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;amp;utm_campaign=loading&quot;\" data-instgrm-version=\"&quot;14&quot;\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CbkSVFaD8Yd\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;amp;utm_campaign=loading&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"noopener\">A post shared by Melissa Sloan (@melissa.sloan.357284)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=&quot;\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js&quot;><\/script>&#8220;&gt;<iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/tv\/CbkSVFaD8Yd\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.apost.com&amp;rp=%2Fen%2Fblog%2Ftattooed-mom-with-over-800-tattoos-struggling-to-get-a-job-as-businesses-wont-hire-her%2F44265%2F%3Frd%3Dn#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A394.70000000298023%2C%22ls%22%3A328.8999999985099%2C%22le%22%3A330.80000000447035%7D\" height=\"1028\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Later in the conversation, Sloan noted that she had a working experience in the past, and it was also cleaning toilets.
