"Scarred for life: The teenager who asked tattooist for THREE stars on her face and ended up with FIFTY-SIX
By Mail Foreign Service
Last updated at 4:35 PM on 16th June 2009
Comments (42) Add to My Stories A teenage girl is suing a tattoo artist for £8,500 after she allegedly asked him for three stars on her face - but ended up with 56.

Eighteen-year-old Kimberley Vlaminck paid £55 for 'the graffiti that has ruined my life' in her Belgian home town of Courtrai.
Enlarge Scarred from life: Kimberley Vlaminck shows her tattooed face. The 56 stars will cost £8,500 to remove
Kimberley says the tattoos have ruined her life
She claimed the Romanian tattooist who performed the artwork misunderstood her French and English.

She claims she fell asleep while he was doing his work... and awoke to 'this nightmare'.
'It is terrible for me,' said Kimberley. 'I cannot go out on to the street, I am so embarrassed. I just look horrible.'
'I think he didn’t understand what I wanted. He spoke only fractured English and French.

'But I explicitly said in my native tongue, French, and also in a little bit of English when he looked confused, that I wanted three little stars only near my left eye.'
Rouslan Toumaniantz, who runs the tattoo parlour called The Tattoo Box in Courtrai, denies her claim.
He said she knew 'exactly what she wanted'.
He added: 'She was awake and looked into the mirror several times as the procedure was taking place.

'The trouble all started when she went home and her father and boyfriend threw a fit.
'They are saying things now like I doped her or hypnotised her. What rubbish!

'She asked for 56 stars and that’s what she got.'
To remove the stars would require surgery costing £8,500.
But even the most advanced laser techniques would, while removing the tattoos, leave deep white marks all across Kimberley's face.
She has launched legal proceedings against Toumaniantz seeking damages, plus the money for the operation.

He was questioned by police earlier this year but they decided it was a civil matter and that there was nothing they could do.
Jules Clocher, a Belgian psychologist, said: 'The trauma this girl must be feeling is indescribable. She feels like a circus freak - and no wonder, because she looks like one.' "

i call BS on the part of the chic

[the chi]

I gotta agree. I like it, its cool looking, but theres no way she didnt know what she was doing. I can understand falling asleep for a tattoo, but not when someone is working on such a delicate area.

[Apoc]

yup, I have no doubt she got what she asked for, and lied when she realized she was a complete idiot for asking for it.

She wanted it. Didnt look good. Daddy got mad, boyfriend got mad, girl made up a lie. Sounds kind of typical for the convos weve been having on here today actually! lol

[tommymac]

Ok so this moron asked a guy that may not have undestood what she wanted tattooed on her face. What a fucking moron, she has nothing to complain about if shes that stupid, much less to get her face tattooed.

No way in HELL could you fall asleep for any of that shit.

Besides, if you thought there was ANY sort of confusion on the part of the "artist" why in god's name would you go through with it? :doh:

Rule #1.) If someone's doing anything to your face... make sure you're both speaking the same language! And I mean ANYTHING... http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/canibeyou/Smilies/menage.gif


With that said... just 'cuz it looks good on Kat Von D doesn't mean it'll look good on you!


That would'a looked wicked cool if it'd been done in the glow in the dark ink. Not that I'd do that to my face.... just sayin'.

[derf]

Wow, her story is total BS. She would have been sleeping right until the needle hit her cheekbone, forehead, jaw, nose, hell really anywhere on her face.

[julie j]

:bs: All the tattoos I have had they let you look at the carbon before needle touches the skin. There is no way that girl fell a sleep and she is an idiot if there was a language barrier. :wtfru:

[askmrjesus]

Chick looks like a box of Lucky Charms. :lol:

a box of Lucky Charms has larger boobs than her.

:lol: Oh my gawd that's fucking awesome!

[racedoll]

Unless those were drawn with a marker, there is no way anyone would have slept during that time.... unless you were totally drugged up or something.

[Rangerscott]

So it really is that hard to hold up three fingers.


Did ya'll notice her belt buckle? What it really says is,”What can I do to make myself stand out more because I want to be a bigger attention whore."

From the picture it looks freehand

Poor girl if full of $hit and stars.

Take it from someone who has done enough drugs growing up to supply a small town. You arent falling asleep during that, drugged up or not! I was whacked on painkillers and going through a bad time in my life when I got the inside of my left arm done. I felt every second of it. It wasnt super painful, but I wasnt falling asleep either..

Yeah, I was pretty drunk when I got my shoulder done, my buddy was pissed because I was bleeding too much! Even so, falling asleep was never an option. I don't know though, you'd have to be pretty messed up to even consider getting a bunch of ink on your face imho!

I have hade freehand work done also. They still let me see it and asked if I liked it before the needle touched my skin.

Yea, any tat I've ever seen was at least drawn on before it was inked. "Freehand" just means that they didn't use a stencil or copy a picture.

[Leon]

My whole arm is free hand, the only thing drawn was part of the outline, everything else was done straight from the gun.

Wow, well you are brave son! One question, why not draw it in first? Just asking. I'd imagine that it's some kind of design and not a picture, right?

[Curb]

you really need to see his arm to appreciate the artist who did it. lots and lots of intricacies (sp) in it that i don't think a stencile would be able to be used

My arm is in the tattoo picture thread here. The artist is a close friend and I trusted him 110%.

yes, but did you fall asleep during any of the ink sessions you had with him leon? lol

No if he did he would have woken up with 56 stars on his face :lol:

Oh it wasn't some dude in another country that didn't speak your language?:lol:

My piece started out as a stencil and the artist added freehand around it. By freehand I mean ruff sharpie work just to get an idea of how it would look and then freehand with the gun but of course I did know the guy and we speak the same language. :wink:

That's what I think of when you say "freehand" too... No matter who it is, I'd want to get an idea of what he's going to do before it's permanent!:panic:

[Gas Man]

I agree... complete BS. No way she fell asleep and no way you wouldn't know. 3 stars would only take a matter of a few mins. 56 would take at least 2 hrs.

And you guys are right... for her story to be true she would have to have no hands. 3 fingers otherwise put too many holes in her story.

Hopefully their judges aren't as stupid as they are here.

[canibeyou]

"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 Mr Toumaniantz was doing.
Ms 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 the that the tattooist mad made a mistake."

DER!!! :gofurslf:

[Rider]

Yeah there was no way she fell asleep. You guys called it right. Glad she fessed up but still what a cunt to sue someone for your own fucked up mistake and trying to cover it up with a lie. She should have to get another 56 stars on the other side of her face as punishment,

[z06boy]

Well well well....as many stated I didn't think it was possible.

[Papa_Complex]

Whaaaat?! Teenaged girls LIE?!! I wasn't the biggest she'd ever seen?!!!

I'm going to go to my corner and cry now.

[Particle Man]

hopefully, she gets in trouble for attempting to press charges in a fraudulent case...

did anyone see the guy who did the tattoos? :eek:
