This is the sight teenager Kimberley Vlaminck woke up to after falling asleep in a tattooist's chair - despite claiming she only asked for three stars.

The 18-year-old, who is now suing the body artist for £8,500, said: "I can't go out on the street. I am so embarrassed. I look horrible."

Kimberley says she nodded off during the lengthy and painful procedure and awoke to "the nightmare" of 56 stars across her face.

But tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz denies her allegations. He says she only complained after her father "threw a fit" and her boyfriend threatened to dump her.

Kimberley, of Courtrai in Belgium, claimed the Romanian tattooist had failed to under-stanher French and English. She said: "I explicitly said in my native tongue, French, and also in a little bit of English when he looked confused, that I wanted three little stars only near my left eye."

But Mr Toumaniantz said he knew exactly what she wanted. He added: "She was awake and looked into the mirror several times as the procedure was taking place.

"The trouble all started when she went home and her father and boyfriend threw a fit. They are saying things now like I doped her or hypnotised her. What rubbish. She asked for 56 stars and that's what she got."

Kimberley has launched the civil action, seeking money for tattoo removal surgery.

Personally I don't believe her story, I think it went like the tattooist claimed: she was fine with it untill the father and boyfriend came in...

She got a lot of atention tough, tv, papers

And her face is being used for stuff like this:

I've never understood why someone would willingly deface their own face like that. I don't have a problem with tattoos, but I certainly wouldn't want one (let alone 56) on my face.
 
I really doubt it was a misunderstanding, as I would think a tattoo artist would only do this with very clear instructions, particularly as it is on the face.
 
The name Rouslan Toumaniantz is so  Romanian you guys.

It's like saying Wang Yun Long is a Parisian, born and bred.

It sounds more like Russian or something like that.
 
If she was too embarassed to go out why did she let someone take the picture so all the world can see it
 
Now I'm no tattoo expert but as far as I'm aware, it involves needles. How do you fall asleep with a needle going at your face.

Quite possible. Paris has a sizeable Chinese community. Although Rouslan is a typically Russian given name.
 
This is my favourite...... imagine you come home from work, all excited to meet your new room mate, and this guy comes out of his room:

Yea wtf? Doesn't it burn your skin or something? And even if it doesn't, its a rapidly stabbing needle...
 
She's insanely courageous and demonstrated her contempt for pain by falling asleep in the middle of a tattoo. Either that or she's lying outrageously. Or she was drugged, but that would have left hard evidence.
