Woman with face tattoos rants after store denies her retail job

‘Unemployable’
Her story struck a chord with many viewers, prompting an outpouring of comments from people offering their opinions.

“Maybe it’s the demon spider??” writes one user, referring to the prominent tattoo that spreads from her neck to her lower cheeks.

[You] can be a bartender, tattoo artist, an extra in a prison movie, bassist for Motley Crue,” jokes a second TikToker, while a third simply writes: “Unemployable.”

Others suggested it’s the placement of Putnam’s tattoos and not the actual body art. “There’s a reason that tattoo artists refer to face tattoos as career enders,” writes one user.

A second says, “I don’t think it’s because you have tattoos…I think it’s WHERE you have tattoos.” And a third, pens, “I have tattoos everywhere but my face…but I can get a job anywhere. Be [for real].”

Offering some professional advice, one netizen writes, “HR supervisor here. There is no way any company would put you in front of customers like TJ Maxx.”

Next, a former hiring manager at TJ Maxx confirms the suspicions of facial art in the workplace: “I used to be a hiring manager for TJ Maxx and I will tell you it’s the facial piercings and tattoos.”
