Tell me if you’ve heard this one before. 18 year old Kimberley Vlaminck strolled into a tattoo parlor in Belgium to get three tasteful stars on her face. Supposedly she fell asleep in the chair of tattoo artist, Rouslan Toumaniantz, only to wake up to 56 stars on her face! Now she’ll have to spend $14,000 in medical bills to remove the tattoos. OK, let me let you ponder that for a moment.
First of all, no tattoo artist is going to freehand 56 stars on your face without you knowing about it. Artists rub them on with a kind of ditto paper and tattoo from that. Second, and I know this from experience, tattoos hurt… a lot. I don’t care how butch or pain resistant you are, you will NOT sleep through someone tattooing 56 stars… on your face. Finally, these are not big stars, it would maybe take half a hour at best to pull this off.
What kind of thought process is that? I’ll have three small stars tattooed on my face. Hey, Mr. Tattoo Guy with several rings in your lip, will you put three stars on my face? Oh anywhere really, whilst I take a little nap? That would be great. Just wake me up when it’s over.
Mr. Toumaniantz
I’m sorry…sleeping is not an option while you’re being scarred by needle puncture wounds. Toumaniantz says she looked in the mirror repeatedly during the tattooing. Did they not discuss price? I’m sure there is a really big price jump between 3 stars and 56 stars! But Kimberley is sticking to her story:
“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.”
Toumaniantz says she’s having buyer’s remorse because her dad and boyfriend threw a fit. I’d have to say I believe him. What an idiot!
