Beyond the tattoos, it is the mental state which they signify.
Grotesque.

A tattooed content creator sparked a debate about hiring biases after being rejected by T.J. Maxx.
Experts said tattoos could influence hiring decisions, especially in customer-facing roles.
But overall, personality and cultural fit are more important, they said.
A TikToker, Ash Putnam, was frustrated after T.J. Maxx denied her application — and she said she thought her tattoos were to blame.
Some of her designs that are visible when she's dressed are a skull with horns on her neck, solid black patches on her arms, and a pattern on her forehead. Putnam, 23, also has multiple facial piercings, including a large silver ring hanging from her septum.
"I hate that my tattoos are such a defining factor for me getting a job or not," she said in a recent TikTok. "Just because I have tattoos doesn't mean I'm not going to be a good worker."
Putnam, from California, said she went into the store to ask why she hadn't gotten the job and that the hiring manager told her she didn't have enough experience. The hiring manager also denied that her tattoos played any role in the rejection, she said. T.J. Maxx did not respond to a request for comment.
She wasn't convinced and took to TikTok to complain. Many commentators claimed her attitude may have been to blame, rather than her tattoos. Others said they thought her body art likely played a role in the rejection.
While the jury is out over whether tattoos can damage your prospects of being hired, experts told BI that the personality of a candidate was likely more important for recruiters.

Yeah. No.
Beyond the tattoos, it is the mental state which they signify.
Grotesque.
IMHO, Tattoos are a monkey-see, monkey-do sort of thing.
Why would you hire her?
Anyone with visible face, forehead and neck tattoos, who returns to the store. demanding to know why she wasn’t hired, is looking for a fight or grounds for some kind of discrimination lawsuit. She has to know how that spectacle looks to the average shopper. Of course tbe manager is not going to blurt that out
She knows. though she’s trying to pretend she doesn’t.
Cancer is in the future for all tattooed. Your body does not like ink.
You beat me to it. Earlier thread about the chick from Sopranos and I posed the same question.
There was a time when we paid good money to see someone like that at a carnival side show. Now if she were also a sword swallower of fire eater she could have a permanent gig with such a show.
In our youth people with such tattoos were considered to be “dirty”.
If you’re getting rejected for a job from TJ Maxx you got bigger problems than just being tatted up!
How to destroy God’s handiwork. Skull and horns by Satan.
I used to work for TJX. They have plenty of tattooed workers. If you are even remotely a nice person, they will hire you. I will say, I only worked with one entitled person in my time there. Everyone was actually pretty great. (Extra Christmas money turned into extra anytime money very quickly.) When we relocated 10 years ago, I never went back to “paid” work.
Well, didn’t she think her tramp tats and likely accompanying piercings were going to be welcomed in the real world? She’s beyond disgusting. Maybe they need someone to help clean porta potties somewhere. Probably not even that. How about out at a farm shoveling muck?
Nope, wouldn’t hire her
I bet grandma is real proud.
Caveat. Face tattoos might be a disqualifier.
That thing is going to give me a nightmare. Why do people want to look like demons? That thing needs an exorcist
The caption says that person isn’t the woman who wasn’t hired.
“why mess with perfection?”
