A woman revealed that she is often mistaken for a "bank robber" because she is covered in tattoos.
Melissa Sloan really stands out from the crowd due to her unique appearance. The mom-of-two is covered head-to-toe in tattoos, so much so, that you can barely see her skin anymore.
Speaking to the Daily Star, the 46-year-old revealed that she is often mistaken for a criminal and has already been banned from hotspots in her local area in Wales including pubs, tattoo parlors, and even her own children's school.
Now there's another place to add to the growing list.
"When I walk into the bank they look at me like I'm going to rob the bank," Sloan told the outlet. "They're all scared."
"It feels like they think you're going rob them," the tattoo enthusiast continued. "I'm walking in and everyone just stays still and they're all frightened.
"As if I'd want to rob a bank anyway - I'd get noticed straight away," she added.
However, while Sloan could easily try and avoid the bank, it was reported that she's currently changing her name, meaning she'd have to go into the establishment in order to update her details.
"If I change my name to Missy [from Melissa] I'm going to have to go to the bank, it's going to be a hassle," she said, adding that she's prepping for the sideways glances as well as the disapproving looks.
Despite the chaos that comes with her unique look, Sloan admitted that she's not ready to give up the ink just yet.
"I'm going to start up here on my chest and I'm going to keep going now because obviously I'm running out there [on my face]," she said. "I'll be starting on my chest and going around my body parts and I'll keep going all the way.
"I'm never going to stop - I can't stop," she continued, saying that she "just has to do it."
"[My partner] says 'why do you bother going through all of this pain?', and I said I just have to do it.
"It's hard to explain, and when that pain goes for a split second I want another one," the 46-year-old said. "I could have one every day but I don't think it will do me any good."
Even though she faces difficulties no matter where she goes, she told the Mirror that she doesn't want to get rid of any of her ink.
"I can have these lasered off if I wanted, the doctor said I can have these lasered off," Sloan alleged. "They said if it makes you 'depressed' you can have it all off.
"But if I do that, I'll end up having them back on again. So there's no point in that, is there?"
Each to their own.
