Oh god, I kill me sometimes

Here’s the scene: You take somewhat attractive 18 year old Kimberly Vlaminck, to a Romanian Tattooist that doesn’t speak the same language as her, and have her ask for some facial art. Now have the Teen ‘fall asleep’ in the tattooist chair.
Now here’s the punch line, and stop me if you’ve heard this one, but the girl wakes up, to find that half her entire face is now covered in 56 stars. Now I mean not even Hollywood could make this stuff up, but now that daddy has seen a face full of ink, they want to sue to tattooist for the cost of removing 53 of the 56 stars.
However this is where this cavalcade of hilarity starts to become sad, as the tattooist is swearing that the teen was awake for the entire procedure, and that she knew exactly what was going on, so on one hand you have the Teen co-ed claiming that she’s been duped into having the excessive ink done, and a tattooist who looks like someone I would never meet in a dark alley, claiming the exact opposite.
Now what I want to know, considering that in Belgium, that there is a written agreement between the tattooist and tattooe (yes I know that is not a word) as to what is going on, and apparently the father of the teen paid for this, so when it came for the bill to be paid, what I want to know is was this the cheapest 56 stars tattoo… or the most expensive 3? cause I mean if it was paid before hand, that would make this oh so much more hilarious.
So what my dear readers is the moral of this story? Don’t get a tattoo unless you and the tattooist speak the same freaking language, now that isn’t a no-brainer, but on that same hand, after you do go and get some ‘ugly’, and your daddy-dearest doesn’t approve, try and make up a more credible story that you fell asleep and couldn’t tell that your face was being pricked by hundreds of tiny needles.
I would love to have been a fly on the wall of the tattoo parlour when the father found out that his daughter had more stars than Old Glory, and I would love to find out just how this little episode ends up, cause I mean, seriously, I’m expecting it to be turned into an episode on a sitcom by the end of the year.

I read somewhere that Toumanaintz will from now on only do tattoos after clients sign a consent form!
Not only does Toumanaintz need written consent, he needs the client to “sign off” -approving a design the way we do it in the graphic design industry! We sign off before we send it to the printer who runs 10000’s of copies and there’s no turning back from there…
There are some sites online where you can scope a tattoo in just about any “genre”! This is the best I’ve seen.
My fave tattoo gallery
It is EYE CANDY! You can just look for the one you like, print it out, and show it to the tattoo artist no matter what language they speak!

oh my god, what bullshit. anyone who knows anything about body art knows the tattoo artist doesn’t just stick you with the needle and start tattooing freehand- they make an outline in ink first, which is set on the face (or where ever the tattoo is) and the artist tattoos over top of that. furthermore, there is NO WAY IN FUCK you could fall asleep while getting a tattoo (also something anyone who has any tattoo would know), ESPECIALLY not on your face, which is especially sensitive. completel bullshit, she deserves to be punched in her ugly starred-up face.

the shop she got done at was “tattoo box” too. I hear her father was present for the tattoo and still wants to cover his obviously narcoleptic daughter from her own stupidity by damanding a simple tattoo shop pay for laser. I’ve been tattooing for 14 years, 3 small stars would take around 8 minutes to accomplish on a face. that means the dumby was passing out from something other than tiredness more realistically some smack.
