Over the last few years, Melissa, who likes to go as "Missy," has covered her body from head to toe with more than 800 tattoos, many of which were self-done after she was banned from her local parlor.

Since beginning her journey, Missy has admitted to becoming addicted to inking, leading to a number of unfortunate consequences.

She has been banned from nativity plays, funerals, and even churches.

The 47-year-old is reportedly heartbroken after being unable to take her kids out for the back-to-school activities that most families take for granted.

"I feel heartbroken that I can't take my kids back to school supply shopping," the Mirror cites Sloan as saying.

"I avoid going to the shops most of the time – my partner does most of our food shops – but it’s particularly painful not to be able to partake in such a common parental activity."

"I would love to go out with my kids and help them choose supplies, but strangers won’t leave me alone," Missy said.

"When we're in the children's or back-to-school section in shops, other parents stare. Their children point at me – some of them laugh or start crying when they see me because they are scared."

"It's hard because my kids need new uniforms and stationery just like any other children do. They don't care that I'm inked, so I don't get why it’s such a big deal to other people, parents especially."
