Ouch! Teenage Belgium girl wakes up to 56 stars tattooed on her face.
Kimberley Vlaminck 18, fell asleep after allegedly asking a tattoo artist to do three small stars. When she awoke she had 56 tattooed on her face. Yikes! She says that the tattoo artist had a heavy accent and barely understood what she was saying and that she specifically told him to ink only 3 stars.

I don't have a tattoo, but how can you fall asleep when someone is repeatedly stabbing your face? 56 times!!! Sure, if you suffer from narcolepsy it may be a possibility.

The tattoo artist defends himself by saying the claim is false. According to the artist Kimberley was awake and occasionally inspected the work. He says that she made up the story when her dad and boyfriend reacted with rage. Funny thing is that Dad paid for the tattoo and waited outside while he enjoyed an icecream. Must've consumed a gallon's worth of it not to have noticed gee, it's been an hour and my daughter still hasn't shown up.

The teen says she feels humilliated and is sueing for approximately £9,000 for laser surgery to remove the tats.

She went from fine to freakshow in a blink of an eye. I think she knew what she was doing and had buyers remorse.

What do you think? If you have had a tattoo done, do you thnk it's possible to dose off while it's being done? Enlighten me.

I agree with you that she probably has buyers remorse. She probably saw the three stars and was like, "Hmm, I bet one would look cute right there too!" and then, "Oh! Oh! Put another one right there!!" etc. Since dad's paying for it, put them here and here and here and here, here, here, here, here too!!!!!

I don't have any tattoos either, but my husband has quite a few, and many of my friends have them too. Several, not all, have said it can be a relaxing vibration and hum, depending where it is, of course. None of them have one on their FACE, so I can't say for sure. But yes, from what I've heard, it could be easy to fall asleep during one.
35 months ago: Ok,
1. Tattoos are NOT painless. What a convenient excuse, because that would mean she didn't feel him tattoo more than 3 stars. Because what person wouldn't stop him after the desired amount. What person wouldn't realize that they're being tattooed more than 3 stars?

2. Who falls asleep while they're getting a tattoo? Who?? If she fell asleep, its her fault that the tattoo didn't come out the way she wanted. No one can sleep through that kind of pain.
especially on the face..a very sensitive area..even near the eyes. You couldn't fall asleep even if you tried.

she just regretted what happened.
and now wants someone else to pay the price.

Tats and I have three, are not something that go unnoticed when being done. Why would the artist keep going if not told to? No artist is gonna go beyond what a customer says "just for fun" or artistic integrity, this is serious business and if he was a nefarious one well the caveat emptor(?) sister, doesn't seem that way tho'.

Sorry, ERRRNT, no basis for complaint. besides HowLeanne she's already got s*** on her face doesn't get any closer to and A...XD
35 months ago: I dn't really know much about getting a tatoo because I've never gotten one, but wouldn't she had to hve explained to the artist exactly what she wanted on her face, because it looks like a lot of time and effort went into the design of this one. Do tatoo artists usually just design it on the spot?

35 months ago: To play devil's advocate, is it possible she could have passed out from the pain?
35 months ago: Good call, Alex!

Honestly, there are so many different possibilities to this story that only she and the artist know exactly what happened.

Aw, my comment got edited. And I thought I was using the PC and relatively unoffensive term. Sorry, admin!! My bad.

35 months ago: That's an automatic filter. I probably would have left it. We just don't want people calling other people *****.
35 months ago: This is coming from Austin Texas? Don't be fooled. We are trying to build a fence/wall around that (Austin) group. For future reference to all. Whenever you see anything from Austin Texas. It does not hold or have that much value in the real TEXAS.

Austin has strayed and the rest of Texas does not want Austin back. I'd like to see the Capital of Texas moved to the original location and the current inhabitants of Austin shipped to Old Mexico to spew their garbage. Try to burn me on that "Texas Truth" jeanyang.
35 months ago: Oh by the way... she asked for THREE TATS on her face and is now pissed because they installed 53? Find a TAT guy that can count next time babe. Was this a little self painted and removable TAT idea built in the states? WHERE next time?

I only asked for a little TAT on my butt but my butt is now covered beyond my husbands recognition. Can I sue?

Alex? passed out from the pain? that is the best funny yet from the RR crew. Let me pass out while someone is sticking hot needles and injecting fluids into my own little ecosphere. I do have a big question that all of you are missing....

Did the TAT GUY get paid?
That answer will tell the whole story.

35 months ago: What does Austin have to do with this story? It took place in Belgium.
35 months ago: Sorry.. You need to live here to understand.

My big badness. So the Tat guy/gal in Belgium asked a minor that was escorted by a parent, how many TATS do you want on your FACE while the parent approved and paid for the TATS? Now because the TAT guy/gal can't count in whatever language the recipient and parent spoke the TAT guy/gal is to blame. Did the Dad/parent go shopping while this little process was taking place? Do any of you know how long it would take to TAT that much space? More than a couple of hours. More than several hours. Probably around 6 to 8 hours in one sitting. Sorry they need to learn to love stars.

Besides a real TAT guy/gal would have thrown a stud or two in her nose to complement the artwork.
