Sometimes, when you apply for a job and don’t get it, you might wonder why. Was it your skills, how you presented yourself, or something else?
Ash Putnam, who is 23 years old and covered in tattoos, recently shared her frustration on TikTok after being turned down for a job at TJ Maxx.
Her video became really popular, with over seven million views and tens of thousands of comments. Many people agreed with her about how hard it can be for young people to find entry-level jobs.
Putnam explained on TikTok that she applied for a job at TJ Maxx and later got an email saying she didn’t get the job. She felt disappointed that they didn’t even call her personally, just sent an automatic email.
Not satisfied with the response, she went to the store and asked the employees why she didn’t get hired.
“I went in today and asked, ‘Why didn’t I get hired?’ The employee said, ‘You don’t have enough experience. There were other candidates with more experience.’”
Putnam also asked if her tattoos were the reason she didn’t get the job. Many places don’t like employees with visible tattoos. The employee said that wasn’t the reason, but Putnam wasn’t sure she believed that.
“Just because I have tattoos doesn’t mean I won’t be a good worker. I don’t understand that at all,” she said. “Some of the smartest people I know have tattoos and piercings.”
Her story sparked a lot of discussion about job hunting and how people are judged based on their appearance.
Even though the woman from California, who also works for Uber Eats, didn’t get a clear reason from TJ Maxx, many people on TikTok think they know why she was turned down.
One person said, “I’m a tattoo artist, it’s probably because of the tattoos.”
Another person, who works in human resources, commented, “No company would want someone with visible tattoos dealing with customers, like TJ Maxx.”
A former TJ Maxx employee added, “I used to work there, and they hire almost anyone off the street. It’s definitely because of the tattoos and piercings.”
Someone else suggested, “It might not be that you have tattoos, but maybe where the tattoos are located.”
These comments show that many think her tattoos could be the reason TJ Maxx didn’t hire her.
“I really think it’s because of my tattoos, as many comments say my tattoos are scary and demonic to some people,” she shared with the Daily Star.
She added, “TJ Maxx didn’t tell me this directly, but many comments on my TikTok are really mean. People say I should work at a circus or Halloween store.”
Even if her tattoos are why TJ Maxx didn’t hire her, she thinks companies should change how they hire people.
“If they think tattoos decide how good you are at a job, they need to think again. Tattoos, piercings, and colored hair aren’t unprofessional. They show creativity and being different. It’s 2024, people need to stop disliking tattoos.”

Marlo Thomas’ Cosmetic Surgery Criticized: Discover Her Unfiltered Look Through AI
Marlo Thomas’ look has changed a lot since her “That Girl” days, and some fans think she ruined her beauty with plastic surgery. People say her nose was nicer before she had more work done on her face. AI-generated images also show how different Thomas might have looked as she aged without the cosmetic procedures.
Plastic surgery can be a hot topic, especially when it comes to celebrities. Marlo Thomas, who is thought to have had cosmetic procedures, is an actress, producer, and social activist.
At 86 years old, she has had a long acting career with roles in shows like “Ocean’s 8,” “The Real Blonde,” and “A Magical Christmas Village.” Fans who remember her natural beauty from her “That Girl” days find it hard to recognize her now due to the changes from plastic surgery over the years.
AI-generated photos suggest that Marlo Thomas would have aged differently and more naturally without plastic surgery. These images show how she might have looked with subtle wrinkles, her original nose shape, and a cute smile with naturally raised cheeks.
When photos of the actress’s facial changes from 1968 to 2024 were shared online, fans reacted with surprise and strong opinions about her plastic surgery.
One user commented, “She was much prettier when she was on *That Girl* before all the surgeries. Her nose looks terrible now.” Another person added, “She was so pretty. It’s a shame she ruined it with surgery.”
Another user noted that Thomas had gone too far with her surgeries, saying, “Way too much work done. She was BEAUTIFUL before the surgeries. Ugh.” Many agreed with this, commenting “I agree” and “So true.”
Other people wished Thomas had been more cautious with the cosmetic procedures. One user remarked, “Too many surgeries. But she is an amazing woman.” Another individual, who felt the surgeries ruined Thomas’ beauty, said, “She was so beautiful, but her surgery is a disaster.”
Thomas, who has spoken out about body image, reportedly had plastic surgery to change the shape of her nose. AI-generated images show how her nose might have looked as she aged naturally if she had never undergone the surgery.
Mindy Schneider, a television writer, shared in her memoir *Not a Happy Camper* that her mother wanted her to get a nose job from the same doctor who worked on Thomas.
Schneider remembered her mother saying that Thomas had her nose done by Dr. Silver on Madison Avenue. Her mom added, “He gives everyone that little upturned nose. Makes them all look like shiksas. You should go to someone else. Yours will look real. I’m getting some names.”
Thomas’ plastic surgery made her nose look less natural or real. This change is evident in how her nose appears now compared to how it might have looked as she aged naturally, according to AI-generated images.
Despite this, the actress believes that people should have the freedom to make their own choices about their bodies without facing judgments, comments, or criticisms from others.
