A girl is suing a tattooist for putting 56 star tattoos on her face claiming she told him she wanted three but he "misunderstood her french and english.." {he is romanian I think} he claims she knew what she wanted and only is suing because her boyfriend and father freaked out... She claims she fell asleep while he was doing it.. yet in my opinion if someone was TATTOOING THE SIDE OF YOUR FACE you wouldn't be sleeping... here is the link to the story including a picture of her tattoos... what do you think... would you somehow not know if someone was giving a tattoo wrongly.. heck I watched my tattoo's being done just because I was worried about them throwing in something extra.. which they did (they customized my colors for me which looks better then the colors I had chosen but that I didn't mind because they asked) They are even trying to say they drugged her or hypnotised her.. what BS in my opinion

Teen suing tattoo artist for £8,500 after she asked for three stars on her face... and ended up with 56 | Mail Online (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1193384/Teen-suing-tattoo-artist-8-500-asked-stars-face--ended-56.html)

She knew what she wanted and got just that. I hope the jury awards her zero. Anyone who gets a tattoo needs their head examined big time. That's just my opinion.

She lied to save her behind. At 18 I guess she thought she'd look vivacious or whatever.

Twinks, I'm sure I need my head examined! :p

I've got 3 but nothing on my face. But I agree with you that she's lying to save her butt!

And like binx said, there's NO WAY someone could put that many tattoos on your face and you not realize it. I hope she gets zero as well!

Just thought about something else: when I got all my tattoos, the artist made a 'stencil' of the design and then transferred it onto my skin before actually starting the procedure. Looking at the picture, I highly doubt that he drew 56 stars freehand on her face!

The tattoist did the same for my three tattoo's they stenciled them on me before doing them. Yet I was not crazy enough to put any on my face. I do think she is lying and I hope she isn't awarded anything because she doesn't deserve it... you would have to be pretty out of it to sleep through a tattoo on your face let alone any wheres else

And let's not forget the best part: 56!

Haha yes we can't forget that.. I don't think I could handle one tattoo on my face let alone fifty-six of them.. Ouch... I didn't think my shoulder tattoos hurt but the one on my leg did hurt a bit more then them

I wonder how drunk she was, since that is the only way I would think one could fall asleep while this is happening.

But I have to say, the photo really does not even look real

I don't know.. isn't it a legit news site from the UK though...
It is http://www.dailymail.co.uk/

She should change her mind set and wear that tattoo proudly! I think it looks better than the alternative will (the alternative being the marks left behind after having the laser surgery to remove them)

I have my doubts...
She was either

A) Stoned out of her mind and told the tattooist to do it

B) Wanted it

C) Was telling the truth.

To me C is right out... NO-ONE could pass out while having a tattoo unless on drugs!

I believe her. When I went to my tattoo artist I clearly said "I want big bird".. well I ended up with big turd on my back... damn Romanians.

She took twinkle twinkle little star a little too far.

Every time I have a had a tat done they put a stencil on then they let me check the stencil out in the mirror and I say that's fine or say yeah that will look stupid. I doubt the guy drugged her or hypnotized her. If she did fall asleep she must have been really really drunk.

I saw this story this morning on the BBC network website. It surprised me as well... I mean, seriously...

At the very end of the interview on the BBC site, the artist says that she ok'ed the design from the start... was that picture in his album of her? Or, did she say, "I'll take that... only, not so many."

Wow...

I'd go with drunk. Passed out.

It appears that the consensus around the web about this story is that she got what she asked for but made up the "passed-out, 3 stars only" story after she got in trouble at home.

My vote is for drugs!

Most tattoo artists won't do the inkwork if you've been drinking too much because you'll bleed a lot more.

Niko I was just about to say that about being drunk and getting tattoo's. If you are really drunk your blood is thinner and it just runs the ink right out.

I'm with need karma on this one I think she asked for it her dad and her BF flipped out so she blamed the tattoo artist.

Exactly!
The last one I got was like a millimeter too high so he washed it off and re-did the stencil...

Yep I agree NM... drugs!
A friend of mine got soned when she had her tatt done and nearly passed out.

You can't get drunk when you have a tattoo because it thins your blood and you bleed too much. I was a shocking bleeder for both of mine... guess that why the tattooist missed the coloring on my anubis' nose! (reminds me, got to go back and fix that!)

And what would be the motive for a tattooist to put 53 more stars on her face than she requested? I don't think she has a case. This girl is out of her mind.

Great point- why would intentionally botch the job? Doesn't even make sense.

I agree I think she might of taken drugs.. but not that she was drugged by the tattooist... I tell you I was a bleeder too when it came to my leg tattoo but I didn't bleed as much for my shoulder. Mind you colored ink doesn't seem to like me much and it has to be gone over a few times until the color reaches the tone it should be

I am on the same page, buyer remorse.

Another one for the collection...

Although OMG, I would never be able to let that artist touch me, he is scarey looking.

If she signed a release form that clearly stated that she wasn't drunk, then the stencil would be applied and checked out by customer. If the customer likes the placement, then the tattoo commences. If she doesn't like it, then it's her fault, not the artist's.
Also how do you confuse 3 and 56 in ANY language?
Personally, I love it...

Haha yes! Those lip piercings were so big he could hardly talk! :eek:

it was all a lie!!

OMG I'm so shocked, I felt so sorry for her


not =]

I was shocked when I saw her face but I knew right away that no tattoist would over do something that much without it being the request of the person being tattooed...

Nooooo.I don't know here. The bad thing is that the tattoo might look like a birth defect from far away.. . like moles or something.

Surprise Surprise she lied.

Well I hope the tattoo artist sues her. (Not that it will be worth much)
The stupid thing is the father buying the story in the first place and letting the public catch wind of it.
What parent wouldn't know their child's story was full of holes?

I think daddy didn't want to actually believe his little girl would do that to herself.

I figured she did. What a horrible thing to do. And to think her father smashed up the guys tattoo parlor too

AGH, why didn't I check this sooner, I just found out it was a hoax and came on to post about it haha, a few days too late :o

Lol shaz. You did post in it once before .even if it was a hoax it was still decent conversation lol

Yes true, I knew about the stars the day it happened, I was just a bit slow on the uptake with the 'hoax' information :p

Poor tattoo guy, I hope he gets a ton of money out of them for smashing up his shop!
(And a little extra to fix those lip rings! :eek: haha)

I did notice that the stars on the face were probably a take off the TV show of the female tattoo artist Kat VonDee. She has some stars on the side of her face. Like I said that girl probably wanted to look like the TV tattoo star.
