In the News - Belgian Teen Claims Tattooer Covered Her Face in Stars Against Her Wishes
Sunday June 21, 2009
A young woman from Belgium is suing her tattoo artist for covering her face in stars when, allegedly, she only wanted three. She claims that she fell asleep during the tattoo process and woke to the feeling of him tattooing a large star on her nose. She says she was mortified when she looked at herself in the mirror and saw that her three requested stars had turned into fifty-six. The artist claims that he did exactly what the girl wanted - nothing more, nothing less.
Update: The teen has (finally) recanted her original story, admitting that she did indeed ask the artist to tattoo all of those stars on her face. She lied because her father had a fit when he saw her face and she didn't want to own up to it. Big surprise!

Friday morning on “The View” Whoopi Goldberg showed the dragon tattoo on her shoulder. She said that she had several tattoos and that one didn’t just fall asleep while having 56 stars tattooed on one’s face. She suggested that the young woman had passed out or had got the tattoos she wanted and now was scrambling to explain things to mom and dad.
You got to be kindin right “Oh I fell a sleep” CRAP!!! I have many tattoo myself and have done hundreds and never had anyone fall a sleep. You got your face done, how can you get your face worked on and fall a sleep. Come on, tell you mom and dad that’s want you want and deal with it.
Hmm fell asleep, I don’t think so unless she knocked herself out with some serious drugs. Come on, I mean even though it doesn’t hurt like hell you still feel it being done, I don’t believe any of it. Maybe if she had gotten five but fifty six??? I think it is more a case of regretting what she done or her parents not being to pleased with what she done, I can’t image a tattoo artist risking his carreer by doing something like that.
But hey that is just my opinion
MUST call BS on this one. Come on little girl…own up to what you’ve done and don’t try to lay blame on an artist who probably did exactly what you wanted. Fell asleep….yeah right!
We have had clients fall asleep in the past. But that was after they had been sitting for a few hours or more. If the girl was only getting 3 stars, I don’t believe their enough time for the girl to fall asleep.
Very true – she has now admitted she lied because her father went crazy!
hahaha i knew it,thats exactly what i said probably happened when the story came out first. who the hell wants that much on their face,especiall not a person with no tattoos already….stupid b..ch……
