A TikTok star with extensive tattoos sparked millions of views after telling followers she faces employment discrimination but doesn't want to work anyway.

Trinity Eclectic, 36, has built a following of over 230,000 on TikTok showcasing her radical body modifications, including eyeball tattoos.

In a viral video, when asked "How do you earn a living?" Trinity responded bluntly: "I don't work."

When pressed further with "Don't you want to work?" she answered firmly "No."

The Reality of Tattoo Employment Discrimination

Trinity's experience reflects a broader pattern affecting heavily tattooed job seekers across America.

Another woman, Ash Putnam, recently shared her struggle finding work after T.J. Maxx rejected her application due to her facial tattoos and piercings.

Putnam's TikTok about the rejection garnered 8.5 million views, with her noting that in Europe, people with tattoos "can get jobs like way easier."

Legal Reality and Public Response

Under U.S. law, companies can legally refuse to hire applicants based on tattoos because having a tattoo is not a protected class subject to anti-discrimination laws.

An HR supervisor commented on Putnam's video: "There is no way any company would put you in front of customers."

Trinity's unemployment declaration drew mixed reactions, with some TikTok users expressing anger, one commenting "She takes people's taxes," while others supported her decision.

Alternative Income Streams

Despite claiming unemployment, Trinity earns money through social media platforms including TikTok, Instagram, OnlyFans, and YouTube.

Her extensive body modifications, including eyeball tattoos she initially felt skeptical about, have become her brand and income source.

The disconnect between claiming unemployment while earning through social media platforms highlights the evolving nature of work in the digital economy, where traditional employment categories no longer capture how people actually make money.
