It took Kimberly Vlaminck three long years and nine painful laser treatments to finally look like herself again - her face no longer etched with 56 tattooed stars.
Vlaminck, a 22-year-old from Belgium, made headlines around the world in 2009 after she emerged from a tattoo parlor with an entire constellation inked on the left side of her face.
Initially, then-19-year-old Vlaminck lied to her parents and the media, claiming that she asked a local tattooist for only three stars near her eyes, but he kept adding more and more after she dozed off under the needle.

Bless her heart
Really James?
Lot of men died as boys in foreign lands fighting totalitarian brutes for us
In the mud.....wishing their mommas were there to hold them...so far from home bleeding out slow and in pain
And plenty sported tattoos
Careful with that broad axe Eugene
Wow, well I think it goes without saying he had mental issues. I read he had a dream where an Indian told him he had the spirit of a tiger so that convinced him to look like a tiger. But didn’t he ever question why an indian would know about tigers? Unless he dreamed about an actual indian from India? I pretty sure he meant native American though. But still, how does that equation work? “I have the spirit of a tiger which means I must deform my body”. And BTW, why does he have scales on his arms?
I stand by my words. My comment needn’t be construed as negative, always.
Perhaps it isn’t a coincidence that they made those sacrifices of their own bodies and selves. Willingly or unwillingly.
“Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.”
- Lev. 19:28
lol!
Yup - amazing how God always gives good advice.
Wonder where he works??
Aren’t Christians and Tattoos an oxymoron? I thought the Bible counseled not to mark up the body?
Do you observe all the other laws specified in Leviticus 19?
I’d be surprised if he didn’t, most of them are pretty common sense, though a few of the “coughing up a ram” type be somewhat outdated.
Additionally, they make sense, particularly at that time, even if regarded from a secular standpoint, because by not following those laws society pretty much rots away, or became easy pickings for more disciplined ones.
The “killy” OT rules are in 20...
Do you follow only the ones you feel like following?
I’m not a ‘Christian’.
you condemn those who died for us then you are either an ingrate or teeming with self righteousness
good thing they were willing to die for your freedom
tattoos and all
what a kook
You have a wild imagination. Runaway wild.
He's self employed. He's a tattoo Artiste'. And given the cost of tattoos and their current inexplicable popularity, he probably makes more than you or I.
It also counsels people not to eat BACON!
I’m right with you. I feel like I’m whistling past the graveyard when I tell Christians to stay away from these abominable pagan practices. Only the enemy of our souls wants us to mark and mutilate ourselves. As Christians we are to be a “called out” or separate people. We have been in bed with the world for a generation now and we have lost our power and fervor.
