Taylor White hasn’t had much luck landing a job due to her extreme face tattoo that was done ‘against’ her will. Although, things are looking up for the US woman
A woman whose face was inked ‘against will’ revealed that she cannot find a job due to her extreme tattoo – but is getting help from a kind stranger.
Taylor White,37, from Florida, US, has been living with trauma for 16 years after she says she was ‘drugged’ by an ex-boyfriend who then etched ‘obscenities’ onto her face.
With only being just 21 at the time, Taylor saw no other option than to cover up the undisclosed cruel words by filling in the majority of her face with black ink.
Despite having worked in the body modification industry since, Taylor – who has bipolar – is wanting a change of career into mental health services after completing her bachelor’s degree and is heading for a psychology doctorate.
However, she’s found that she’s got nothing but rejection since applying for jobs.
And she thinks this is due to her massive unwanted face inking.

“I’ve tried applying for jobs in the mental health care field just as an advocate,” Taylor told The New York Post.
“I understand that my appearance is quite different, and could maybe jar someone that has their own condition.”
Back in 2008 when she woke up from what she believed to be an assault, Taylor looked in the mirror to see “really horrible things” on her face.
After resting from the physical pain and letting the tattoos heal for a couple of weeks, she went back to work in the tattoo shop she had a job in at the time – and shocked her boss.
Taylor before her traumatic ordeal
“He said, ‘You you can’t live like this’,” Taylor recalled.
Her manager offered to “black it out” after he saw the nasty words peeping through her concealer in order for Taylor to “live a normal life.”
Although, life has been a struggle since.
Well, that was until Taylor started to post on TikTok about her trauma and tattoo ordeal.
Along with racking up 22,000 TikTok followers to help raise awareness for mental health, her situation was spotted by content creator TheDadBot.

Karridy Askenasy, or TheDadBot, came across Taylor’s TikTok and wanted to help her after being touched by her story.
He offered to fork out the cash for laser tattoo removal for Taylor and even searched for a suitable clinic that could be tasked with removing the heavy ink.
Karridy, who has over 138,000 followers, didn’t know if he could afford the treatment in full or actually find somewhere willing to do it.

“The trouble she was facing obviously had a personal effect on her,” he told The New York Post.
Luckily, tattoo removal brand Removery came forward to battle with Taylor’s vast face ink and is not charging her a single penny.
They said it can take “upwards” of two years for the tattoo to fade.

Despite being in the early stages of the lengthy laser process, Taylor is hopeful that the result will be “life-changing.”
“It’s a gradual process, but one that yields permanent, life-changing results,” Taylor shared.
“This is really removing a part of me that I no longer represent or live in.”
