A 'addict' mum revealed plans for her next etching – but will only get it if win the on Sunday. Melissa Sloan, 46, who lives in Wales, got her very first inking when she was in her early 20s and hasn't stopped since.

To keep up with her three-to-four a week ink count, Melissa's football fever has inspired her to get a tattoo to honour the men's England football team.

"If England lose on Sunday I won’t remove them, I’ll still be proud of them. But, I’ll be getting behind England on Sunday and will drape an England flag over me." The England flag would be a welcome addition to Melissa's body as she's been on a mission to cover the entirety of her body – even her eyeballs.
So far, Melissa has amassed three layers of face ink, a cobweb piece on her boobs, a butterfly design on her vagina, multiple .
