In fact, she revealed that till 2015, she actually hated tattoos. What changed her mind about them? It was in the same year that she got her first one, which completely shifted her view on the practice.

The German-based influencer has images of vibrant roses on her legs, a leopard print tattoo on her shoulders, and several detailed portraits on her arms. These tattoos happen to be among dozens of others on her entire body.

How My Wife’s Rejection Revealed a Powerful Lesson About Self-Worth

When a Sales Assistant Insulted My Wife, I Taught Her a Lesson She’d Never Forget

My wife, Emma, has always had an incredible sense of style. The way she combines her outfits draws admiration from friends, family, and even strangers. Her self-confidence is one of the things I love most about her—it’s truly inspiring.

But one incident managed to shake her confidence to its core.

While visiting a shopping center one afternoon, Emma noticed a hiring sign displayed in the window of one of her favorite lingerie stores. She adored the brand for its quality products and elegant displays, and since she was already searching for a retail job, this seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Excited and optimistic, she stepped into the store and approached a sales assistant. However, instead of a friendly greeting, she was met with cold indifference.

When Emma politely asked about the application process, the assistant looked her up and down with a sneer and said, “Look, I don’t think you’re pretty enough for this job. NO CHANCE. Don’t even try.”

Those cruel words shattered Emma. She came home in tears, her self-esteem bruised. Seeing her in that state broke my heart, and I couldn’t believe someone could be so callous and dismissive. But sadness quickly turned into determination—I couldn’t let this slide.

I called my friend Mike, a talent scout with an eye for models, and told him the story. He was just as outraged as I was and agreed to help me teach the sales assistant a lesson.

The next day, Mike and I returned to the store. I pretended to browse while Mike introduced himself to the same sales assistant. He explained that he was searching for fresh faces for an upcoming modeling campaign.

The assistant’s demeanor instantly changed. She adjusted her hair, straightened her clothes, and struck exaggerated poses, trying to impress Mike. But after a few moments, Emma walked into the store.

Mike turned to the sales assistant and said, “Sorry, you’re not what we’re looking for.” Then, as if noticing Emma for the first time, he added with a smile, “Miss, have you ever considered modeling? You’d be a perfect fit for our campaign.”

Emma’s face lit up with a smile, and the sales assistant’s expression turned sour.

As we left the store together, Emma admitted she felt a little sorry for the assistant. But I knew the lesson had been delivered.

I wanted Emma to understand that her beauty and self-worth aren’t defined by someone else’s shallow opinion—they come from within.
