Belgian Girl's Tattoo 'Nightmare'
Kimberley Vlaeminck tells her side of the story
Police in Belgium are investigating a complaint from a teenager who says a tattooist peppered her face with stars after she asked for only three.
Kimberley Vlaeminck, 18, said she fell asleep during the procedure. "I woke up when he was starting to tattoo my nose... I counted 56 stars, it is frightening," she said. Tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz, who is Romanian, said his client did not fall asleep and she got exactly what she had ordered. He rejects Ms Vlaeminck's claim he had misunderstood what she had asked for.
Mr Toumaniantz says his client was happy until her family saw her face "She was awake and looked in the mirror several times as the procedure was being done," said Mr Toumaniantz, who works at Tattoo Box in Kortrijk. He says his client only regretted the tattoos later.
"She agreed, but when her father saw it, the trouble started," Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws quoted Mr Toumaniantz as saying.
The teenager has told Belgian media she wanted three modest stars tattooed near her eye and she awoke to "a nightmare".
Ms Vlaeminck has said she wants to keep the tattoos on her forehead but would have the rest removed.

Fell asleep - suuuuuure.
It doesn’t hurt but is really annoying and loud.
Fell asleep - lol!
yup, I saw the other thread. The girl is such a moroness
but was it from the BBC?? and the other one had a picture
What’s the difference between 3 or 56 stars tattoed on your face? It looks ridiculous either way
Well, she got what she wanted -— attention.
Perzactly
The “artist” looks like he came from the Eighth circle of Dante’s Inferno, or perhaps the Ninth circle of the Chinese version. But they’re all wary of working on customers who might be non compos mentis. None of them want ex post facto legal trouble. I’m inclined to believe the tatooist—that the girl only came up with this story when her parents went ballistic. Shades of Tawana Brawley.
I saw a young Seattle woman with a tattooed circle, filled in with mountain scenes, covering the area between her shoulder blades.
I just ask myself: What are these tattoos going to look like when they’re geezing?
Why even one star? And, fell asleep? Give me a break.
“I seen the needle and the damage done...”
This “starlet” may have started something with the self-mutilation crowd.
Little part of it in every one... LoL
I hope this idiot is barren and cannot reproduce.

She had to have been high on drugs or passed-out drunk.
