Tattooed Woman Rejected by TJ Maxx Sparks Online Debate
Ash Putnam, known as @ashxobrien, shared on TikTok that TJ Maxx rejected her job application without a call, just an “automated email.” When she confronted the manager, she was told, “You just don’t have enough experience.”
Putnam suspects her face tattoos and piercings played a role. “I hate that my tattoos have been such a defining factor,” she said.
Viewers had mixed reactions, with some calling tattoos “career enders” and others joking she was “unemployable.” Putnam asked, “How are young adults supposed to get a job if places only hire based on experience?”
