An 18 year old girl from Courtrai town, Belgium only asked for three stars tattoos near her left eye, but after the 55 pounds tattoo session, she was surprised to see 56 stars on her face. Kimberly Vlaminck claimed that she was misunderstood by the Romanian tattoo artist, Rouslan Toumaniantz. She asked in mixed French and English to do the artwork. The artist Toumaniantz who has tatoos all over his face denied her claim that she only asked three stars. The woman witness supported Toumaniantz. Kimberly sued Toumaniantz for 10,000 pounds. He said he would help to pay for the removal of the tattoos but maintained that she really asked 56 stars for her face. He also said that the Belgian girl was happy with the tattoos when they were finished but she complained against it after her father and boyfriend were not happy about it. She said that she fell asleep during the session. Toumaniantz who has a tattoo shop called The Tatoo Box claimed otherwise. He said Kimberly was wide awake and "she knew exactly what she wanted." Removing the tattoos would cost her 8,500 pounds though even if removed, the scars would remain on her face.

This is the first time I read such a story. Tattoo artists make mistakes but such mistake is unbelievable. If she did not tell him to make her 56 stars tattoos where would he get the idea to do that? Besides, tattoo artists make an outline first before doing the design. So, in her case, she would definitely see how many stars would be inked on her face. Say, she fell asleep. But how could she sleep that long? Those were 56 stars, right? And then she woke up right after it was finished? I have been watching LA Ink and Miami Ink tattoo shows and I cannot remember seeing any customers there falling asleep. They all are wide awake having conversations with the artist(s). Say, she was doped, then that would be very bad for tattooer's business and what benefit that man could get from tattooing her with so many stars? By doing such work is certainly labor intensive, is it not? Unless, the man wanted her to look like him and planned everything out, because the man himself has tattoos all over his face. So, he wanted a girl teenager version of him. Just a thought. Why not?

haha, this article makes me laugh a bit to be honest. How is this possible, I say: not. How can you fall asleep during a session? Doesn't it hurt when a tattoo is bein put on your FACE!? It's very strange
I agree with you Lisa, this is really a bit funny. How is it possible that you fall a sleep during a session? I thought getting a tattoo was painful, but apparently not!
Can you imagine wanting 1 tattoo on your face? Girl is mad
I believe the tattoo artist. You cannot fall asleep during a tattoo especially if it is your first and a tattoo artist does not put your entire face full of stars just like that they always ask permission fo everything. I think she was just afraid of her fathers reaction and tried to blame the artist. By the way it looks ugly:S
