Belgian teen admits asking for 56 tats

BRUSSELS (UPI) -- A Belgian teenager who claimed a tattooist put 56 stars on her face without her permission while she slept now admits she lied because her father was angry.

Kimberley Vlaminck, 18, had initially claimed she had wanted three small stars only to doze off and wake to find dozens of them on the left side of her face. She said Flemish-speaking tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz failed to understand her instructions in French and English, leaving her looking like "a freak."

But The Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday Vlaminck has confessed to being "fully aware" of what Toumaniantz was doing to her face.

"I asked for 56 stars and initially adored them," she told a Dutch TV crew. "But when my father saw them, he was furious. So I said I fell asleep and the that the tattooist made a mistake."

Toumaniantz had denied doing anything other than what he was hired to do, though he did offer to pay half the cost of having them removed. He reportedly withdrew that offer when Vlaminck came clean.

accuracy,

This story is actually inaccurate. It didn't happen in Brussels, it happened in Auckland, New Zealand. and the girl made the accusation because of her boyfriend getting angry, not her father.
