One of Britain’s most tattooed women has revealed she’s hoping to become a mother for the eighth time.
Melissa Sloan, 46, from Powys, has previously revealed that she can’t find work because employers are put off by the fact that her face is completely concealed by inkings.
In an interview with the Daily Star, the mother-of-seven who has more than 800 inkings admitted: ‘I’m not proud of saying it, but I haven’t worked for 20 years’.
But while she can’t find a job, she is keen to try for an eighth child with her partner Luke to complete her already huge family.
Melissa said: ‘I’m trying for another baby. I told the nurse this the other day and she was shocked, her eyes popped out!’

She admitted, that prior to deciding to get pregnant again, she didn’t have sex for three years.
However, it’s now back on the agenda because her children kept pestering her for another sibling.
A pregnancy at 46 would involve health risks, but Melissa is optimistic that she wont’ experience complications.
Melissa, who got her first tattoo in her 20s, acknowledged that her newborn won’t ever see her real face, which is fully tattooed.
And it’s easy to see why employers aren’t too keen – she even has an inking of the infamous Kray twins who terrorised the East End of London.
However, the tattoo fanatic has ambitious dreams – to prove people wrong and become a solicitor.

She spoke about the motivation behind her extensive body art, and it’s more harrowing than many people would expect.
Melissa explained that her tattoos are her way of covering the ’emotional scars’ of horrendous sexual abuse from her paedophile brother.
Melissa previously revealed she uses tattoos as therapy to cope with years harrowing sex abuse at the hands of her half-brother.
‘My tattoos help me cover the emotional scars that Gavin left behind’, Melissa said.
‘They’re my mask and I hide from the world behind them. But now that he is finally in jail, I can begin to feel free’.
Last year, Gavin Sloan was finally jailed for a string of sickening rapes and sexual assaults against other children.
