I don't know, I thought it looks pretty cool and she's cute to boot!

ANL1 · Jun 17th, 2009, 05:28 PM

Apperantely she did get the stencil before the tattoo of all the stars, after which she explained to the tattoo guy she only wanted the top part

there are also rumours starting that this would be a viral commercial, I'm really curious about that!
There is a true hype around her in Belgium, you can get your own picture "kimberlized" here http://www.toputourworkon.com/kimberlizer/

it's almost too insane to be true

Well she should have known what she was in for when she first looked at her tattoo artist!! LOL

I still don't see how you can fall (and remain) asleep while someone is piercing a needle to your face!

And the picture of her tattoo artist... holy &*%%^!

I don't think it's possible to sleep through someone drawing 56 stars on your face with a felt tip marker much less a freaking needle.

kimalee · Jun 17th, 2009, 08:16 PM

I don't believe for a second that she fell asleep. Not only the pain involved, but the time, too - it would take awhile for the guy to tattoo that many stars on her face, so why didn't her father come in sooner to see what was going on?

Update:

The tattooist who inked 56 stars on the face of a Belgian teenager who claimed to be sleeping at the time has offered to pay half of the cost to have them removed.
Although Rouslan Toumaniantz refuses to accept blame for the extreme artwork that Kimberley Vlaminck claims has turned her into a "freak", he has accepted that 18-year-old is unhappy with the final result and wants to make amends.
PHOTOS: Woman's tattoo 'nightmare'
"I maintain that she absolutely agreed that I tattoo those 56 stars on the left side of her face," Belgian newspaper La Derniere Heure reported Mr Toumaniantz as saying.
"A witness, a woman who was present, has already been questioned by police, and she confirms it.
"But be that as it may, Kimberley is unhappy and it is not my wish to have an unsatisfied client."
Ms Vlaminck's family launched legal action against the operator The Tattoo Box in the southeast Belgian city of Courtrai, claiming damages as well as $18,400 for laser removal.
Mr Toumaniantz, who himself is almost entirely covered in tattoos and piercings, says that the bizarre incident may even be good for business.
"I don't regret it," he said.
"To tell you the truth, this has given me some publicity."
The teenager claims she fell asleep in the artist's chair after requesting three stars around her left eye.
With her approving father outside eating ice cream, she allegedly drifted off to sleep while 56 black stars were needled into her face and nose.
"I cannot go out on to the street, I am so embarrassed," Ms Vlaminck said.
"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."
The tattooist maintains his teenage client was happy with the work and the transaction only soured when her father and boyfriend saw the design.
"She asked for 56 stars and that’s what she got," he said.

The last part makes a lot more sense to me.

Whatttttt?!?!!

nicole+2babies · Jun 17th, 2009, 08:58 PM

Yea she is full of BS. Honestly, I say, serves her right! An irresponsible teenager doing something she shouldn't have been doing. The permanence obviously meant nothing to her. She didn't fall asleep. She had buyer's remorse. I don't think the artist should do anything else for her except ban her from his shop. She deserves to pay for the removal herself. Perhaps she will learn her lesson.

LV-PRADAfanatic · Jun 18th, 2009, 03:36 AM

i think she trying to get her money back....

COACH ADDICT · Jun 18th, 2009, 02:22 PM

Wow... I have several tattoo's but none on my face... I would think that she would feel this and not sleep through the hole thing.. Artist in the states do a stencil and place it in the area you want and ask for your approval before they work on you...

This is hard if the Artist was wrong this poor girls face is ruined..
If she is fibing because she now does not like it she is ruining him..

I don't kno how anyone could've fallen asleep with him nearby. YIKES!

MarneeB · Jun 18th, 2009, 08:26 PM

Absolutely NO WAY this girl was sleeping! Not if she was clean, anyway. I have a tattoo above my ankle and almost passed out while getting it! Taking a nap is THE LAST thing I felt like doing. Buyer's remorse is really the only thing that makes sense in this story.
