A teenage girl who claimed 56 stars were tattooed on her face as she slept when she'd only asked for three has admitted she was awake the whole time - and lied because her father was 'furious'.Belgian Kimberley Vlaminck said last week she woke up in horror to find her face covered in the stars of various sizes which spread out over the left-hand side of her head.
She went on to blame the Flemish-speaking tattooist for not being able to understand her French and English instructions.
I was lying: Kimberley Vlaminck originally claimed she had only asked for three star tattoos but ended up with 56 after she fell asleep
Amid a frenzy of media attention, she then vowed to sue tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz for the £9,000 she needs for laser surgery to have them removed.
She said after the tattooing: 'It is terrible for me. I cannot go out on to the street. I look like a freak.'
But the 18-year-old has finally confessed she did not fall asleep, that she wanted all the stars and was 'fully aware' of what Toumaniantz was doing.
Tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz had originally said he would pay for half of the laser treatment Vlaminck needs to have the stars removed
Miss Vlaminck told a Dutch TV crew: 'I asked for 56 stars and initially adored them.
'But when my father saw them, he was furious.
'So I said I fell asleep and that the tattoist had made a mistake.'
Toumaniantz - himself covered from head to foot in tattoos and piercings - had consistently denied he had made a mistake and always insisted Vlaminck wanted all 56 stars.
He said at the time: 'I maintain that she absolutely agreed that I tattoo those 56 stars on the left side of her face.'
But despite insisting Vlaminck had asked for 56 stars, he still initially agreed to pay for half of the treatment to remove the tattoos.
He said: 'Kimberley is unhappy and it is not my wish to have an unsatisfied client.
'I don't regret it. To tell you the truth, this has given me some publicity.'
Toumanaintz is now said to have withdrawn his offer and said from now on he will get written consent from clients before he begins tattooing.

Well nobody believed her anyway. I think it is a good idea to get written consent especially when the tattoos are going to be on the face.

what a silly silly girl!!!
getting any tatto is a big commitment, but to have your face tattooed without thinking properly about it is stupid, there is no way she could of thought her father would be pleased with wgat she had done!
and i say this as a person with many tattoos, none of which i regret as i thought about them first. I know some of my familly don't approve but my tattoos can be covered up

Okay, to sum up:
- instead of "I want 3" the guy heard "I want 56 stars on my face"
- she "fell asleep" during a tattoo session on her face (!)
- what am I missing?

rumours say it was a stunt by some radio station
since FAMOUS did the radio station marketing and also had a site very quick online (kimberlizer) or something.. and now she's doing an exclusive interview for that radio station etc etc..so I think it's all a setup

I don't buy any of this shit, it all sounds like an invention.
where is the real article?She fell asleep while a needle was perforating her face?
I mean.. I felt asleep while getting tattooed before but it was an area with no bone, the sound of the needle can be relaxing, I buy that, but on her face? She must had snorted a thick rail of oxycontin for that to happen.

NOBODY DONE THIS YET?

i've fallen asleep during a tattoo, its not impossible. But that was after 3 hours and definitely not a face tattoo.
