A Welsh mum with 800 tattoos has candidly opened up about her struggles getting a job and believes it's down to her body ink. Melissa Sloan, 46, first started getting her tattoos at the age of 20 and quickly became addicted. She has since gone on to get three layers of ink on her face, tattooing over older sketches. Melissa previously had a job cleaning toilets but has since struggled to secure a new role. "I can’t get a job," Melissa told the Daily Star. "I applied for a job cleaning toilets where I live, and they won’t have me because of my tattoos. "People have said I have never had a job in my life, but I have had one once, and it didn’t last long," Melissa continued, adding that: "If someone offered me a job tomorrow, I would go and work – I would take that offer." The mum-of-two went on to tell the Mirror that she'll continue getting inked until the age of 70 if she can. "Every bit of skin will be covered even if I’m turning blue, my face is already turning blue — I look like a Smurf," she told the publication.

"Tattoo shops shut the door on me – tattooists won't let me in," Melissa told the Daily Star. "When I had this done [my face], there's one about five miles up the road, and they won't do it. She continued: "They won't do it because I'm beyond help – because I've gone too far." Have your say in our news democracy.

From Donald Trump's 2016 election victory to the shocking twist at the end of Game of Thrones, it seems that The Simpsons has a knack for predicting the future - and now some believe it predicted the new social media app Threads. The cartoon series has been running for 35 years since it first took to screens in 1989 and has become a part of pop culture in the 750 episodes that have aired. During this time, The Simpsons have covered a wide selection of topics from politics to celebrities, and as a result, it has eerily managed to foretell news or events that have not happened yet. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Some recent examples include the unexpected connection between the Titanic sub and foreseeing the controversial Willow Project. Most recently, people believe the show predicted Meta's new social media platform, Threads, which is said to rival Twitter. The "evidence" that has been circulating around the internet is a photo of Homer Simpson with his ear circled as it appears to be drawn like an "@" sign, strikingly similar to the Threads logo, which is shown beside the image. "The Simpsons predicted threads?!??" Twitter user @bestinteracted asked. However, all is not what it seems since Homer's ears are drawn differently in the cartoon show, and so the image is not real, rather it has been edited to make it look like the Threads logo. Someone was quick to point this out in response. So, in conclusion - no, The Simpsons did not predict the Threads app. Have your say in our news democracy.
