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

That seems to be shifting responsibility a bit.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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…?

Wait. Did I miss the point?

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.

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

That said, wow, yeah, stars on the face. Five minutes of forethought and none of this would have happened.

Nobody’s attacking the patriarchal society that won’t let her do what she wants with her own body…?

I was drifting to sleep having my arm done and my artist yelled at me

Maybe it’s just me, but if I said I was 18 and an artist said he’d tattoo my face or hands, I would never get work done by them. just shows they don’t care and want the money.

Maybe this is fate showing her that her previous self centered mundane life just wasn’t going to work out for her.

Either that or she should have taken 5 minutes and sketched out EXACTLY what she wanted.
