A WOMAN dubbed ‘Britain’s most tattooed mum’ has revealed that when her partner fell ill she feared for the future of his tattoo addiction.
Melissa Sloan, 46, has more than 800 tattoos covering her entire body and said she has been banned from bars and called “Crayola” at school runs.

However, that hasn’t stopped her, and the mother of seven gets new tattoos on her body about three times a week.
Melissa, who is from Wales, gets most of her tattoos done at home by her partner Luke, as she has been banned from local tattoo parlors who say she has gone “too far”.
Last year, Luke suffered a health scare and was rushed to hospital, with Melissa fearing the worst.
The tattoo addict told the Daily Star she would be in a “mess” if her partner had died, as she would have no one to do her tattoos for her.
She said: “He’s still with me – God bless him. I don’t know what I would do without him, I really wouldn’t know what to do.
“I wouldn’t get any tattoos if he was, right!
“If I couldn’t get my tattoos done, I would be a mess.
“He’s fine now, he had heart failure and only half his heart is working and his lungs are full.”
Fortunately, Luke is recovering and Melissa revealed that during his illness, she found a relationship with Jesus.
As her mother struggled with the thought of losing her partner, she decided to pray for the first time.
She said: “When Luke was in hospital, when he had hours to live, I was by his side.
He received everything, he just had to survive. I prayed that night in the room and I’ve never prayed before and said ‘don’t let him die for the children’.
“And a miracle happened, he recovered and that’s when I think I started to believe in Jesus.”
Despite her newfound faith, Melissa said she was kicked out of church because of her tattoos and loud singing.
However, this hasn’t affected her faith, and she continues to thank Jesus for keeping her partner alive.

She also let her elementary school kids use the tattoo gun, and the kids gave her new tattoos on her back.
