A teenage girl who claimed 56 stars were tattooed on her face as she slept when she'd only asked for three has admitted she was awake the whole time - and lied because her father was 'furious'.

Belgian Kimberley Vlaminck said last week she woke up in horror to find her face covered in the stars of various sizes which spread out over the left-hand side of her head.

She went on to blame the Flemish-speaking tattooist for not being able to understand her French and English instructions.

I was lying: Kimberley Vlaminck originally claimed she had only asked for three star tattoos but ended up with 56 after she fell asleep

Amid a frenzy of media attention, she then vowed to sue tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz for the £9,000 she needs for laser surgery to have them removed.

She said after the tattooing: 'It is terrible for me. I cannot go out on to the street. I look like a freak.'

But the 18-year-old has finally confessed she did not fall asleep, that she wanted all the stars and was 'fully aware' of what Toumaniantz was doing.

Tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz had originally said he would pay for half of the laser treatment Vlaminck needs to have the stars removed

If you have a tattoo on your breast, face it, Toots, you’re a tramp.

Years ago, I knew a woman who had several tattoos. One day she was talking about her newest one. She popped her boobs out and there were two flowers - one on each boob with the nipples being the center. That had to hurt.

I just have my left earlobe pierced once; no tattoos, and I’m 23. Am I missing something?

Yes, part of your left ear lobe.

What an Obamacil

I forget the rules as I've never had a pierced ear...left ear means your gay and right ear means you swing, or is it the other way around? (grin)

No, a left ear means you've crossed the equator and a piercing in the right ear means your piercer was dyslexic.

If your pitot tube's been pierced I guess it means you've in the Mile High Club.

She should sue the tattooist for forgetting a star. Obama said there are 57 states, not 56.

“I just have my left earlobe pierced once; no tattoos, and I’m 23. Am I missing something?”

Yes. I have both ears peirced since I was 5 years old. No tatoos.

I’m a girl.

Does this mean you are half girl?

I knew a gal who worked at a tattoo parlor who suggested that I get a piercing. I told her, “ Sweetheart, I can’t control the openings I have now. I’m not going to get any new ones.”

I’m definitely not half girl.
