I'm Britain's most tattooed mother, I can't give my children Christmas dinner as supermarket staff are too scared of me

A mother who claims to be the UK's most tattooed is worried she might not have a Christmas dinner for her children - because her ink scares supermarket staff. Melissa Sloan, 47, from Kidderminster, is covered from head to toe in more than 800 tattoos - from abstract piece on her face, to portraits of the the Kray twins on her thigh.

And although she loves her ink, Ms Sloan admits the public hasn't been quite as accepting as she would have hoped. The mother said simple tasks have become more difficult due to her appearance, and her Christmas lunch is now 'in limbo' as she can't easily shop at the supermarket.

She said: 'I can't just pop into my local supermarket and shop for my Christmas dinner. 'People will stare when I go to pick up the cranberry sauce and turkey for me and my kids, and I just don’t want to deal with it. 'I feel like I scare the supermarket workers, too – they have given me terrified looks as I’ve walked by in the past.
