You’ve heard of Australia’s most tatted model, the infamous ‘Black Alien’, and ‘Britain’s most inked woman’, but you may not have seen the British mom who has over 800 inkings – many of them on her face.
She says she gets around three inkings a week, either at home or in her van.
This is even though five of her seven children reportedly no longer have contact with her as a result of her obsessive body modification.
However, her youngest children who still live with her are huge fans of her look.
But Sloan’s extreme look has come at a price, and she’s previously revealed she’s struggling to find a job.
As reported by the Daily Star, the 46-year-old explains: “I can’t get a job. They won’t have me. I applied for a job cleaning toilets where I live and they won’t have me because of my tattoos.
“The first job I had was cleaning ages ago, cleaning toilets. People have said I have never had a job in my life, I have had one once and it didn’t last long. But, if someone offered me a job tomorrow I would go and work – I would take that offer.”
She also tells the Daily Star: “No Christmas parties and when I go to my child’s school I don’t get invited. They said once for me to go to the back garden and look through the glass window.”

Sloan covered up her tattoos for a photograph, and her children and dogs were not happy with her new look.
In her first escapade into tattoo covering, she explained in an interview with the daily “It took me ages. I bought one [foundation] for £3 and thought I’d try it that way.
“I put it on for about half an hour and when I went downstairs the kids freaked out because they didn’t like it.
“And my partner looked twice he said ‘No, it doesn’t suit you. Get your tattoos back, it looks weird’. They burst out crying and even my dog looked twice.
“She didn’t like me that way, my youngest wanted me back as I was. It scared her.”
Sloan claims she wanted a challenge, but her lack of tattoos actually ended up ‘scaring’ her kids! She also claims it took ’24 hours’ to remove the long-lasting and thick foundation.
She adds: “These trolls say to me my kids are scared but they are scared of me with my foundation on. People don’t realise that they are small-minded.”
In spite of the negative reactions to her initial transformation, Sloan decided to try out the look again – but this time, she kept her kids at bay to avoid frightening them.
“They said ‘Go back to your craziness mom’, none of them spoke to me. It didn’t go well. It wasn’t the same, it’s like they were looking at a different person, a stranger,” she tells the dely in a new interview.
