Girl who claimed her face was tattooed while sleeping comes clean

Kimberly Vlaeminck, 18, made headlines when she claimed last week to have woken up from a tattoo session with 56 stars on her face. She said she had asked for just three small ones. Turns out though, Vlaeminck was lying. From the Sydney Morning Herald:

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

(Tattoo artist Rouslan) Toumaniantz - who is covered in tattoos and piercings - had insisted Vlaeminck wanted 56 stars tattooed on her face.

But he had said he would pay for half of the laser treatment to remove the tattoos, The Telegraph said.

"Kimberley is unhappy and it is not my wish to have an unsatisfied client," Mr Toumaniantz said.

But after Ms Vlaeminck's confession he had withdrawn the offer, The Telegraph said.

Finally. I, along with every other commenter I read, shrieked,"Fell asleep while having your face tattooed? No fraking way!"

I had a similar reaction.

wrod. Jessica, that might make you a cable subscriber.

56 stars? WTH was she thinking?

Awesome futuristic car of the future: [link]

Not a concept, not a sci-fi movie prop, not a figment of anyone's imagination — this car, dubbed the Extra-Terrestrial Vehicle or ETV, really does exist. And you can buy it. Floridian Mike Vetter, who runs a car-customizing company simply called The Car Factory, stripped down a Chevy Aveo to its frame, replacing the exterior this otherworldly shell, complete with gull-wing doors. Hot stuff… we simply love the fenders that completely block the tires from view, giving it that landspeeder look.

Fall asleep, no -- pass out, possibly.

I'm surprised more tattoo artists don't have a release they make customers sign before starting work, stating the customer is a) adult b) consenting c) sober and d) aware of the permanence of the work, et cetera.

Of course, they might sell fewer tattoos that way.
