A teenage girl who initially claimed she mistakenly got 56 face
tattoos while she slept now admits she made up the story.
She claimed she had asked for three stars but "fell asleep," woke up
with 56 and blamed the tattooist.
"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 tattooist
made a mistake," Kimberley Vlaminck, 18, said in an interview she
gave to Dutch TV.
She claimed that the Flemish-speaking tattooist, Rouslan Toumaniantz,
didn’t understand her instructions, which she said were delivered in
French and English. He said she asked for the 56 stars and was wide
awake during the procedure.
Compounding the fib, she said she would sue Toumaniantz for half
the $18,000 it would cost to remove the stars with a laser. He
agreed. "Kimberley is unhappy and it is not my wish to have an
unsatisfied client," the ink slinger said at the time.
"I don’t regret it. To tell you the truth, this has given me some
publicity," Toumaniantz says.
Toumanaintz said from now on he will get written consent from clients
before he begins tattooing.
