Ash Putnam, from California, has gone viral on TikTok after sharing that it can be difficult to find employment when covered in inkings.
She uploaded a video titled: “It’s impossible to find jobs right now!!”
The clip has amassed millions of views and comments but instead of receiving support she’s been cruelly trolled – with some saying she ‘should work at a circus.’
In a video on TikTok, Putnam discussed applying for a job at TJ Maxx, an apparel and home goods company.
She told viewers: “I applied for a job at TJ Maxx a few weeks ago and they denied my application. They couldn’t even call me, they just sent me some automated email.”
Putnam claims she went into the store and asked the employee whether she had been denied the role because of her appearance, continuing: “She said that wasn’t the reason. I don’t feel like that’s true, but whatever, I will leave it at that.”
The tattoo lover, who currently makes a living through Uber Eats and social media platforms, says she ‘absolutely’ believes she was denied the role because of her tattoos.
