My God! It's full of stars!


So here's the story of a girl who got into trouble with her dad when she had a bunch of stars tattooed on her face. No, wait... I mean when an evil Tattooing Man maliciously covered her face in stars without her noticing! Bad Tattooing Man!

Tattoos leave Belgian teenager star-faced


BRUSSELS -- A Belgian teenager is suing a tattoo artist whom she says covered half her face with stars while she was asleep, media reports said.

Kimberley Vlaeminck, 18, was left sporting 56 black stars of various sizes on the left side of her face, from nose to ear and brow to chin.

The young housewife said she had gone to the tattoo parlour in the western town of Courtrai and asked for three small stars on her face.

"I wanted him to tattoo on just three little points but he suggested three stars saying it would look prettier," Vlaeminck told local press.

"When he started the tattooing I didn't want to feel the pain and so I went to sleep. I had got up at five in the morning," she said.

"I woke up when he was starting to tattoo my nose and I saw what he had already done. I counted 56 stars, it's frightening," she told the Flemish daily Het Laatste Nieuws.

The young woman, who said she doesn't dare walk down the street, has decided to sue the tattoo parlour.

She said she also hoped to have her starry appearance reversed by laser treatment, which would cost thousands of euros.

Tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz denied that his client had fallen asleep.

"She was awake the whole time, I don't use hypnosis or drugs. She agreed to it. The problems started when her father and his friend saw the tattoos," he told the paper.


I quoted an obcure chinese newpaper becuase it had the best photo of the offending stars. It didn't have any pictures of theTattooist, though, so here's on from the BBC Website!



Kudos goes to whoever spots the reference in my thread title (which is frankly better then any of the headlines that the media has managed to come up with!).

"I didn't want to feel the pain and so I went to sleep"

I think I'd be more worried that its possible for her to simply sleep through pain?


all things considered though, I wouldnt do anything to draw attention to that face...

I Call Shenanigans.

I'm going to guess that alcohol/drugs were somehow involved. And now she's got a nice heaping case of regret.

No, no kudos for getting that reference as anyone who doesn't know it should be killed hard in the face ... the face covered in stars.

And Stead ... so judgemental sir!  Especially given the visog you're currently sporting ;)

"I woke up when he was starting to tattoo my nose" - so why are there 5 stars there?

Sometimes it take ages to wake up properly. Particularly when you're drunk or, y'know... high.

I'd say she deserves a bigger punishment than just losing her claim... but then I remembered that she's got 50 some-odd stars tattooed on her face.

I still think you're right, maybe she could be forced into buying many mirrors?
