Woman 'falls asleep, has 56 stars tattooed on face'

17 Jun, 2009 05:07 PM
An 18-year-old Belgian woman is planning to sue a tattoo parlour which allegedly covered half of her face with stars while she was asleep.

Kimberley Vlaeminck claims she went into the parlour and asked for three small stars to be tattooed onto her face.

But the woman claims she fell asleep and woke to find 56 black stars stretching from her chin right up to her forehead.

    "I wanted him to tattoo on just three little points but he suggested three stars saying it would look prettier," she told the Flemish daily Het Laatste Nieuws.

    "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.

    "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."

    However the tattoo artist denied the woman had fallen asleep, and claims she only protested after her father and his friend saw her face.

    "She was awake the whole time, I don't use hypnosis or drugs. She agreed to it," he said.

    Ms Vlaeminck is planning to have laser treatment to remove the tattoos.

    I read somewhere that Toumanaintz will from now on only do tattoos after clients sign a consent form! Not only does Toumanaintz need written consent, he needs the client to "sign off" -approving a design the way we do it in the graphic design industry! We sign off before we send it to the printer who runs 10000's of copies and there's no turning back from there...
