A tattoo addict's mother stated that she is prevented from entering bars and hence cannot spend Christmas Day there.
Melissa Sloan, 45, from Wales, is sadly no stranger to being an 'outcast' by society.
Previously, the Welsh mother-of-two stated that she is unable to get work owing to her outlandish appearance and would "sweep toilets" if she could.
She was also labeled a "freak" in public in front of her small children.
Melissa, on the other hand, has had a difficult time with her social life this time around, particularly over the holiday season.
The mom, who has lost track of her tri-weekly inkings, revealed in an exclusive chat with the Daily Star how her desire for the needle has spoiled her holiday antics.

Melissa alleged: "I'm not allowed in the pub, it's all pubs - I've been banned for life from pubs in the past because of the tattoos."
"I [have gone] into pubs and have people look at me like I'm nobody, you get judgemental people."
"I am banned from pubs in my area, I can't get in because of my tattoos."
Although Melissa was not directly told that her daring designs, which now include crucifixes, are the primary reason she is unable to enter a pub, she feels this is the case.
"It's going to be down to tattoos as I'm not a fighter, and people are aggressive towards me", she explained."
"[I miss] just speaking to people, I'm the one who speaks to everybody when I've had a drink and I'll be talking to everyone. But, there's nothing I can do about it [being banned]."

Her Christmas preparations have also been hampered by her inability to have a drink and a chat in a bar.
When asked what her Christmas Day plans were, Melissa shared: "To stay at home because I can't go to the pub.
"I'll stay at home with the children, that's all I do isn't it."

But being "banned for life" from public places isn't the only thing standing in Melissa's way of having a "merry" Christmas.
She alleged that she is also excluded from Christmas parties and school parent gatherings.
"No Christmas parties, when I go to my children's school I don't get invited", the mum said.
