Putnam’s first complaint centered around the impersonal nature of receiving a rejection email rather than a phone call. While this is common practice for large corporations, she felt it was insensitive given her efforts in applying for the job.
Upon visiting her local TJ Maxx to inquire about the rejection in person, Putnam was told by an employee that she lacked sufficient experience for the position. However, she suspected that her tattoos played a significant role in the decision, despite the employee’s assurance to the contrary.
Despite her disappointment, Putnam emphasized that she did not necessarily need the job but was seeking additional income to pay off debt more quickly. However, she found it unfair that her tattoos seemed to be a determining factor in her employability.
Putnam’s visible tattoos include imagery with Satanic connotations, such as a goat representing the deity Baphomet and a Leviathan Cross. While it’s unclear whether hiring managers saw her tattoos during the application process, thousands of TikTok users commented on her post, suggesting that her tattoos likely influenced the decision.
Some commenters argued that visible tattoos could be perceived as unprofessional, especially in customer-facing roles like those at TJ Maxx. Others pointed out the challenge for young adults without prior work experience to secure employment if companies prioritize experience over potential.
The incident raised broader questions about societal attitudes towards body modifications and hiring practices. Putnam questioned why tattoos should be a barrier to employment, especially when many individuals with tattoos are highly capable workers.
While there’s no definitive evidence that Putnam’s tattoos directly led to her rejection, the incident highlights the ongoing debate surrounding appearance-based discrimination in the workplace. As discussions continue, it’s essential to consider how hiring practices can be more inclusive and equitable for all candidates, regardless of their appearance.
Amber, 24, is obsessed with tattoos and has covered her whole body in ink
One of the biggest benefits of being an adult is that you can do whatever you want (of course, as long as you are within the boundaries of the law). You can wear whatever you desire and look however you please.
Amber Luke is a girl that took her individuality to the next level, without caring one bit about what others think of her.
This Australian 24-year-old aims to cover her entire body with tattoos before turning 25. And now she is one step closer to her goal – as she has covered her breasts with ink, reports the Daily Star.
Amber’s journey to cover herself with tattoos started when she was 16. Her fascination with ink was something that would change her entire life.
Over the years, Amber has got tattoos all over her body.
She has really done everything in her power to get as much ink in her as possible. She has covered most of her body with tattoos.
It has not been a smooth process, last year when she tattooed her eyes, things almost ended terribly.
“Unfortunately, my artist went too deep into my eyeball. I was blind for three weeks. That was pretty brutal”.
The alternative model has also opened up about the fact that she has been struggling with mental illness. She is currently training to be a counsellor – she hope she can help others with similar problems in the future.
“Society is so full of hatred and invalid opinions of you and what you look like… You wouldn’t bother to ask what I do with my life – I’m studying a diploma of counselling just to be able to assist people’s mental illnesses,” Amber told Daily Star.
Now on her breasts
The latest step in Amber’s quest to be completely covered in tattoos was doing it on her breasts.
“Completed tiddies,” Amber wrote to her 64,600 Instagram followers while proudly displaying the result.

Next in her list are her thighs. But Amber is already thinking of tattooing her entire left arm black.
But of course, Amber has not always been covered in ink.
Just a few days ago, she shared a photo from her past life that revealed how she looked like a blonde.
The picture, taken 5 years ago, really shows what an incredible transformation she has undergone!
”5 years difference. Let me tell you something… at 20 years old I got a ‘floating neck’ tattoo. I had no facial or hand or chest tattoos. Just a big throat piece. I was given so much shit and hate for my actions. I decided at 20 to say ‘fuck ya’ll, I’m getting what I want too’ and I went for it,” she wrote.
