This needs to be said again:

“No tattoo artist should ever do anything to an 18 year-old’s face.”

That seems to be shifting responsibility a bit.

While I agree that she is childish and selfish, it is possible to fall asleep during a tattoo (though probably not a facial one). I fell asleep while getting one on my back, it was during the second hour and I was laying face-down on the massage table that they used for back tattoos.

She lied to everybody because she knew her father would be angry. He was ok for three stars on the head of his daughter but not all the face. So she made up all this story ... If you understand french : http://www.actu24.be/article/societe/kimberley_etait_daccord/308345.as px

It would be pretty if it were face paint, or if we were in a culture where everyone had their faces tattooed...

It's a hoax made by a radiostation in Belgium I believe. The joke was on the web since the 1 st of April........

Yeah, yeah. Buyer's remorse and a particularly lame excuse. That's why many tattoo artists are reluctant to do any tattoo that can't be easily covered by clothing. Facial tats aren't my thing, but, really, that design doesn't look bad on her. At least it's a relatively tasteful and inoffensive design. I'd really suggest she try a concealer makeup before resorting to laser removal.

Thanks, Xultar. It's about time someone realized this story is crap, no matter how much you debate it.

BTW Here's an article in Dutch which goes into more detail: http://www.nieuwsblad.be/Article/Detail.aspx?articleid=GIC2BGSCT

According to the interview Rouslan Toumaniantz advised the girl to have more than three stars on her face and showed her a drawing of what he had in mind. When she agreed she actually wanted even more stars thatn Rouslan had suggested. She was initially happy with the results but it all changed when she saw how her father entered the tattoo parlor and saw what had happened.

Here's a picture of the tattoo "artist": http://www.standaard.be/Assets/Images_Upload/2009/06/16/toumanian.jpg

The guy's name is Rouslan Toumaniantz. Looking at his face with all the wild piercings, ear studs and facial tattoos Kimberley must have known very well what she was getting into. It's just as clear that Rouslan doesn't look like someone who's very comfortable with outrageous requests and would not say no to 18 year old girls with stupid ideas that they regret 1 day later. It's a good lesson for both of 'em. She'll have the guilt, he will have to pay for the tattoo removal.

I don't think anybody mentioned this, but she would not be able to fall asleep while being tatooed. The lights from the ubiquitous neon signs inside and out of the parlor would totally keep her awake.

Well, if a Romanian tattoo-artist works in Belgium without understanding what his clients want, and not being able to understand the word "trois" - three (but obviously understanding "estelles"-stars???), there must be more clients around not happy with their tattoos. Someone with 56 sculls on one arm or so... ;-D

Tattoo artist should have said No, he is dumb for doing it, and she is absolutely a moron, I have been about as drunk as you can be,and you never would talk me into something this stupid.

@in_nah- This is NOT some guy in Eastern Europe- This is a guy FROM Eastern Europe that works and lives already for some time in Courtrai in Walonian / Kortrijk in Flemish in the southwest of Belgium, close to the French border and not so far from the North-Sea coast, part of Western Flanders. So he does know how things work in Heartland-Western Europe.
I guess that she will lose her battle if she goes to court because he will have documentation and withnesses of what happened in his shop.

Daily Mail isn't really known for accurate articles or photos. I don't doubt that this could happen, but it looks questionable to me.

haha im just imagining her without the tattoos and she seems so bland... too bad she might not get a job, but she'll get the attention she never got now...

Yeah, but this wasn't a fancy tattoo parlor in Vegas, it was some guy in Eastern Europe. Getting any kind of cash flow would never be turned down, and maybe he preyed on her stupidity, but she is 100% at fault.

"and who is he to tell someone he doesn’t think they should get a certain tattoo?" - mysickfix

A good artist is picky about the work they do. If they feel that their artwork will not look right or is not complimentary to where you want it, they will not do it. A good artist will go over your decision over the course of a few visits. They get a feel for your personal style and what exactly you want.

Having said that - that tattoo was probably a "spur of the moment" kind that had not much thought put into it.

ok, tattoo artist is the states have you sign a waiver, and im pretty sure it keeps them from harm in something like this

also, do not blame the artist, people get facial tattoo's

and who is he to tell someone he doesn't think they should get a certain tattoo? I understand if its some kind of issue with the tattoo not fitting in an area, but that obviously wasnt the case here

She's lying.
You don't fall asleep when someone's tattooing your face. She just got yelled at for doing it and is not lying her ass off.
Also,it's in the tat artists portfolio, so they took pix after the tat was on. Not sure if you'd do that if you were totally surprised....

Well.., you CAN fall asleep while being tattooed. I can testify to that, both in having fallen asleep and having seen that happen to others... I like the feeling, like being scratched. But to my knowledge it is fully impossible to get 56 tattoo's instead of 3 without any tattoo-artist and especially a Roemanian tattoo-artist residing in Belgium where they have 3 languages within their border- asking in as many languages as possible including sign-languages and a if needed possibly translator - "Are you Really Sure about this...???" ...Because setting 56 stars isn't the most pleasing job in the world for any tattoo-artist. Ans setting them on a face is an absolute guarantee in advance for getting publicity or at least attention from folks. What I don't understand is that in my country- you have to fill in some forms in advance that state that you complie with the treatment and that it was you who gave the order to being tattooed. Don't they have that in Belgium...?

the only thing I can say about this (after reading the linked article) is that the tattooist really needs a more interesting looking pair of glasses.
They don't really go with the rest of his look do they?

Wait. Did I miss the point?

What a silly moo!

a) who goes to a tattoo artist that doesn't speak your language anyhow?

b) i have 7 tattoos, and although I've wanted someone to knock me out during each and every one, i can tell you that you ain't gonna be falling asleep.

she should own up to her dumb-assery, and get the things removed out of your own pocket if she can't bear to look at herself in the mirror every morning.

How the hell do you fall asleep during a tattoo they are far to sore for that to happen, I think that she wanted this and the family had a fit when they saw it and she had to blame someone:)

I agree with everyone saying she knew what she was doing. However, I just go WTF? when I think of someone asking, specifically, for 56 stars.

But then again, this girl looks like she's made of stupid.
