BELGIUM -- An 18 year old girl is seeing stars -- lots of stars -- after she claims she fell asleep at a tattoo parlor.
Kimberley Vlaeminck says she went into the tattoo parlor to get a few small tattoo stars and woke up with her face covered by 56 of them!
Vlaeminck is suing the tattoo artist who she says didn't do what she asked.
"When he started the tattooing I didn't want to feel the pain and so I went to sleep. I woke up when he was starting to tattoo my nose and I saw what he had already done. I counted 56 stars, it's frightening," Vlaeminck told the BBC.
But tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz, who works in the town of Courtrai, denied that his client had fallen asleep and said he fulfilled her request.
"She was awake the whole time," he said. "I don't use hypnosis or drugs. She agreed to it. The problems started when her father and his friend saw the tattoos," he told British reporters.
Vlaeminck, from the city of Kortrijk, about 50 miles north-west of Brussels, said she wanted to keep the tattoos on her forehead but would have the rest removed.
She now hopes they can be taken off using laser surgery, which would cost thousands of dollars.
