A teenager got the shock of her life when she asked for a few small tattoo stars and woke up to find half her face was covered in them.

Kimberley Vlaeminck, 18, is now suing the tattoo artist who she claims went way beyond what she had asked for.

The Belgian teen says she woke up in pain after falling asleep as Rouslan Toumaniantz drew the permanent ink designs.

She then discovered 56 "frightening" black stars of different sizes from her nose to ear and brow to chin.

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

"When he started the tattooing I didn't want to feel the pain and so I went to sleep. 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."

But Toumaniantz, who works in the town of Courtrai, denied that his client had fallen asleep and said he fulfilled her request.

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

Vlaeminck, from the city of Kortrijk, about 50 miles north-west of Brussels, said she wanted to keep the tattoos on her forehead but would have the rest removed.

She now hopes they can be taken off using laser surgery, which would cost thousands of dollars.

Belgian girl's tattoo 'nightmare'

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.

*shake my head sadly*
 
I find it hard to believe that she slept through 56 stars.

I also find it hard for a tattooist to mistake 56 for 3.

I think the girl was trying to cover up for herself after realizing that her boyfriend and dad would be pissed off.
 
in liebling's post that has video, i see that the media people were interviewing with the tattootist ( look like) and he had a book that gal's face with stars in the book. surprise that she was cooperating with the tattootist for letting him have a picture of her face for his book as a tattoo pictures book. weird.
 
Me thinks the girl is lieing....becuz daddy & the b/f were freeked out with all those stars....Getting a tattoo is painful and some do bleed....if she actually was "sleeping" she must have taken something to zonk herself out!

I agree, there is no way a person can sleep getting a tattoo.I have one on my leg and it hurt like hell, there is no way of getting hit with a needle to the face and sleeping?

Yeah.

It makes me wonder why they're even getting involved in this lawsuit. :roll:
 
Well.. the girl thought she could have her cake and eat it only to find out the cake tasted awful & wanted a refund but couldn't refund the cake.

That's the thing with tattooing.. it's extremely painful and no one sleeps through it. I've had tattoos and people who do tattoos require your cooperation to make sure you do not fidget otherwise you sabotage your tattoos.

They also require you stay awake in case you pass out, they require you not be under the influence of drugs or alcohol otherwise you affect the healing of your tattoo.

This whole thing is fishy and it points out to the girl, she's not being honest.
 
I wonder if the tatoo artist will have to draft up an agreement for all of his customers to sign before getting a tatoo to prevent this issue again?

I did!

Had to sign a waiver, with the image #, description and a paper stating that I was not under the influence etc....

Before I got my Dolphin Tattoo on my ankle.

I thought they already did that. :dunno: if this applies to all Tat artist or I just went to a smart one, that covered his arse.
 
I didn't sign anything when I got mine.

Interesting.

I feel this chick has gotten what she asked for and freaked. Instead of taking the responsibility of what she did. She wants someone to blame.
