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.

Some girls get one or two tramp stamps, she got 25, and no pain or discomfort. Well done. Now, what sort of girl (or guy) wants even three stars tatooed on her face for the rest of her life?
Idiot!
If she had one more, she'ed have one for every State in the Union.
“I just ask myself: What are these tattoos going to look like when they’re geezing?”
Go find an old sailor. Ask him to show you his old tatoos.

It will take a lot more than that to completely remove her from the gene pool. This just moves her to the far less picky end of the pool.
Nice pic.
Honey, meet my Dad.
My dream come true, a wedding at Barnicle Bill's Low Tide Clam and Kelp Bar and daddy giving me away. sigh sigh
Whadda ya think?
Artist is too strong a word. Human tagger might be more like it.
I knew plenty of Navy retirees during my days before the mast. Their forearm tattoos were uniformly greenish and blurry. But even they assured me it was only the tats that got too much sun that did that.
Note to self: Stay awake while getting facial tattoos from freakish monster of a man.
On its face, it appears that Pisces is in retrograde and gliding into a chaotic collection of air signs, meaning she has just entered into a period where a remarkable, life-altering mistake has been made.
