Teen Wakes Up Covered In Stars

According to Kimberley Vlaminck, she wanted to get three star tattoos, giving her an unhirability score of 1. Instead, she got a score of 10 with 56 stars on her face and a good lesson in why you should never fall asleep at the tattoo parlor. The artist, Rouslan Toumaniantz, says Kimberly "got what she wanted" and is only complaining now because her dad got angry and her boyfriend wanted a girl with stars in her eyes, not all over her face. "It is horrible," said Kimberley. "He has turned me into a freak. I can't go out on the street now without people looking at me." She is suing for £10,000.

    Somebody please help me understand this. How exactly do you sleep through the process of having 56 tattoos carved into your face?

    I have two tattoos and know of people that have had tattoos put in area's that have bone in close proximity. There is no way you can fall asleep because you are constantly fighting the urge to push the artist away that is poking you with a very sharp instrument that vibrates. Also you usually have to find a happy place to put your mind at, so you can keep still and not move while they do their work.

      The Artist usually makes a template to work from and places it on your skin, asks you if that is what you want, then starts going to work filling in parts at a time.

      If the girl fell asleep it was after she knew what she was in for and was wasted off her ass, which if true, the artist shouldn't have done the work in the first place.
