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.”

So sorry you were this stupid!
No, actually I’m not.
That person is NUTS!!
She should go back to the parlor and request beige - all over!
“I Have 800 Tattoos and Can’t Get a Job — Not Even Cleaning Toilets”
I think I’ve discovered the problem!
Well, back in the day insane asylums weren’t a really big business recruiting ground. You may be out and walking the street, but funny enough, most people would define someone who does that to themselves as s***house rat crazy.
A person who does that to her body sends a clear message: “I’m nuts, and if you hire me, you will probably wish you hadn’t.”
I’ve seen prison tattoos that looked better.
My God!
She missed a few spots
I agree, I’ve seen many a normally beautiful woman who ruined their looks because of tattoos. But I’m probably in the very minority when I say that I don’t think any woman should get tattoos, but that’s me.
Telemarketing?
I don't know, you can screen out a lot with just a glance.
And related, stereotypes always have a basis in fact.
The procedure to get a Tattoo causes pain, much like cutting. Except that it leaves a trophy to remember and display.
Why would anyone pay to see a freak when they walk among us?
I wonder what her husband looks like and how she paid for them?
You have to have artistic talent. She apparently has none.
Well, that’s true....LOL
Maybe a burka would help?
I think there are quite a few of us who think it's insane that a woman could make herself more attractive with a tattoo.
“The worst is when you see a woman with pretty legs and has a serpent tattoo from ass to ankle.”
How about Bart Simpson on her calves?
