I Have 800 Tattoos and Can’t Get a Job — Not Even Cleaning Toilets
New York Post ^ | 7/3

Posted on 07/03/2023 3:48:46 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A woman with 800 tattoos says she’s struggling to find gainful employment because bosses cast judgment on her inked-up appearance.

Melissa Sloan, 46, who hails from Wales in the United Kingdom, previously had a job cleaning toilets but says she hasn’t been able to find a similar gig because of the art that adorns her face and body.

“I can’t get a job,” Sloan bluntly told the Daily Star. “I applied for a job cleaning toilets where I live, and they won’t have me because of my tattoos. “People have said I have never had a job in my life, but I have had one once and it didn’t last long,” the mother-of-two added. “If someone offered me a job tomorrow, I would go and work – I would take that offer.”

Yes, I do pity her; however, I would not trust her in any position of high responsibility.

I know some very nice and good people that have some ink, and I never bring up the topic as I suspect that most of them regret the indelible body doodling (it's not really art).

What if/when tattoos go out of style?

She's as far to the top left as anyone can possibly go, a true zero-ten.

"“People have said I have never had a job in my life, but I have had one once and it didn’t last long,”

In other words, you have never worked in your life.

I wonder what her husband looks like and how she paid for them?

LOL. you think she has a husband? frankly I'm surprised she has kids. Some people will apparently do anything.

Not really.
After a few minutes the endorphins kick in.

*edit: that might be her problem. She’s addicted to the endorphin thing. A lot.

I see people obviously on the public dole with extremely expensive and elaborate tats.

Your tax dollars at work.

Too bad that Circuses are no longer a thing - she’d get a job right away.

Other than that - no one wants to look at that thing.

She got that way with the attitude that it’s all about her - no one else matters.

I saw a cute little girl with her mommy yesterday. The girl may have been 4-5 years old. She had a tattoo on the back of her left shoulder.

So sad.
