She revealed that she was subjected to mockery and discrimination, even being banned from attending parent meetings at her children’s school, as well as church and Halloween celebrations. 

She said: “I’m going to get another one done tomorrow.

“I’m getting a cross under my eye, it’ll be a plain one – like a crucifix. I don’t know if I’m religious, I just like crosses – I usually go for hearts or roses, but now I’ll get crosses for a bit

“I go with the flow, whatever I like I put on my face. I go with the inspiration, There’s space left so I’ll put it on. It’s free, I do it myself – or my boyfriend does it, he’s been trained to do it – he’s been doing it for years.

“We have ort own machine and everything, it keeps the cost down.

“It’s expensive now isn’t it, I’m having the cross tomorrow – that would cost £60-70 at a tattooist but it will only cost me ink now, which is about £10 a bottle and a needle which is £10 a box, so I guess it will cost me about £1 I should think.

“I’ve got too many tattoos now, too many to count. I’ve gone over ones I’ve already had.

“I’ll never stop, I tattooed over them because I’d ran out of space.

“I get adrenaline from it, I get a buzz, and I feel brilliant, then it wears off again in a couple of days’ time and I do it again.

“People call me Crazy Melissa, but I just feel like Melissa – that’s who I am. If they don’t like it, they don’t have to look at me – I take no notice. There are some judgemental people out there, they judge you whatever. People stare at me, you get used to it.”

Narrating on how she cannot stop being a tattoo addict, she said: “I have three tattoos a week. It’s like when you have a fag or a drink, you get addicted. I can’t stop it now, it’s addictive, for me anyway. I just can’t stop it.

“I carry the [tattoo] g*n around with me in the boot, I’ll get one in the car or anywhere. My boyfriend does them, he does my tattoos prison style.”
How it is hard for her to get a job, she said: “I can’t get a job. They won’t have me. I applied for a job cleaning toilets where I live and they won’t have me because of my tattoos.”
