Mom: My 800 Tattoos Make Me Unemployable — I Can’t Even Get A Job Cleaning Toilets
Facial tattoos hold a special place in Sloan’s heart, and she has completely covered her face with them. The layered tattoos have been inked over multiple times, creating a multi-dimensional collage.
«I’ve got three layers on my face. I probably have the most tattoos in the world, and if not, then at the rate I’m going, I probably will have in the end,» she says enthusiastically.
Sloan’s journey with tattoos began at the age of 20, and she quickly became addicted to them.
Up until today — despite her struggles with employment Sloan continues to get new tattoos regularly, with an average of three new ones each week.
Sloan, 46, previously worked as a toilet cleaner but has been unable to find similar employment. “I can’t get a job,” she said in an interview with the Daily Star.
With over 800 tattoos, Sloan claims that employers judge her based on her inked-up body and face. “I applied for a job cleaning toilets where I live, and they won’t have me because of my tattoos.»
Sloan added that despite people’s assumptions, she has had a job in the past, although it didn’t last long, and claimed she was willing to work if given the opportunity.
Sloan remains defiant and determined. She aims to set a record in the Guinness Book of Records for the most tattoos. «I’d like to be a record holder, it’s just something different,» says Sloan.
She sees herself as «addicted» to the process and plans to continue getting tattoos even into her old age.
«If I make it to 70, I’ll still be getting them. Every bit of skin will be covered, even if I’m turning blue,» she declared.
