Something seems wrong with this girls' story. Eighteen-year-old Kimberley Vlaminck says she asked the tattoo artist for three small star tattoos on her face, but he evidently misunderstood her, and then she fell asleep while he was tattooing her. When she woke up, there were 56 stars on her face.
The tattoo artist says she definitely asked for 56 stars, and that it's simply a case of tattoo regret.
The Daily Mail, among others, has the story.
I imagine it would be hard to sleep while someone is tattooing 56 stars on your face, so I'm more inclined to believe the tattoo artist. Though he really should have made her wait a day, and write down specific instructions, before proceeding with a tattoo that extreme.

Either (1) She's lying, or (2) She was heavily drugged at the time.
"Though he really should have made her wait a day, and write down specific instructions, before proceeding with a tattoo that extreme."
Yes, but wouldn't most tattoo artists go broke if they waited until their clients had sobered up before giving them the tats?
Translation:
Sunday she went with her father Diego, her boyfriend and her sister to the Tattoo Box in Steenpoort (that

And I do think they look kinda cool. But might look pretty silly when she's old, and will probably make getting a professional job tricky...

Your back is something completly different than your face. Specially that close to your eyes. And shoulders are not that sensitive.
Besides that. Do you really believe she doesn
Good thing you cleared that up for us. We were worried it was the kinky way. 😛
Also, I saw a guy get a tattoo on the side of his head (had a mohawk and had a dragon tattooed above each ear). I never saw someone in that much pain. So, sleeping through a tattoo, especially on the face where there are a lot of nerves, not going to happen... unless she were drugged.
It appears to be a hoax/viral.
Link and have fun with google translate.
It seems it was a thickly set henna "tattoo".
The 3 stars that ought to become the first tattoo are the logo of the company.
What a massive waste of time.
maybe the hoaxnews is a hoax itself..
today still news came out:
http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/2009/06/18/56-tattoo-sterne/kuenstler-will-laser-op-bezahlen.html
it says that the tatoo guy has to pay 3000 euro for a lasertreatment.
The story keeps changing though, she now claims it is likely she fainted instead of falling asleep.
On the website of the Flemish regional TV, it is claimed that the stars have been inked too deep into her skin to be removed properly. I'm not sure whether this claim is accurate because the article claimed normal tattoos are put 3 mm into the skin and Kimberly is supposedly tattoed 2 cm deep! I dunno, but I doubt anyone has 2 cm of skin on their forehead.
They're thinking of changing the law now, so that customers have a two day period to think twice about getting a tattoo.
Silly girl, why she went to an tattoo artist that didn't even speak her language and with whom communication was therefore difficult, I'll never guess. I think she just didn't think things through and now wants to blame it on somebody else.

"Her story is not even remotely believable. She'd rather try to get the tattoo artist in trouble than admit to her father that she ASKED for this,"
I was exactly correct. Yay for semi-random guesses!
But this is why most places wont tattoo your face Cause "You Will Regret it later."
Many places ask you to wait before getting a tattoo they think you will regret or somewhere you will regret.
Plus how in gods name do you get 3 and 56 mixed up?
No offense I think this is a kat von d wanna be lol
