With her entire face adorned in ink, she proudly showcases elaborate designs of flowers and crucifixes, which grace her cheeks, chin, and forehead. All of which makes her looks oddly similar to a "smurf."
Melissa is so elated with her tattoo addiction, that she aspires to obtain an official World Record to validate her bizarre achievement.
From The Mirror:
When she'd finished her design, the mother of two, from Wales, decided she wasn't quite done - so she started again, inking over the old designs until she'd covered all of her face twice.
Since then she's done it again and she's currently on her third layer of all-over ink - and she believes she must have the most ink out of everyone in the world.
Melissa said: "I'd like to be a record holder, it's just something different.
"I'm trying to get into the Guinness book of records. 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 on I probably will have in the end - I keep going over and over them.
"I'd be proud, that's my goal - not many get in the book of records do they, I've only known two couples in there for tattoos - they were covered head to toe, and I think I've got more than them. I'm overlapping tattoos right now.
"When I finish I'll contact Guinness, my mum's passed away but if she was here she'd be proud of me - she always told me to do what I enjoy, and she'd tell me to keep getting them.
I mean, if this is what brings this woman joy, then more power to her.
As long as her well-being remains unaffected, there's no reason why she shouldn't continue adorning every inch of her body with tattoos.
There are worse addictions out there...
