A teenage girl who claimed 56 stars were tattooed on her face as she slept when she'd only asked for three has admitted she was awake the whole time - and lied because her father was 'furious'.

Belgian Kimberley Vlaminck said last week she woke up in horror to find her face covered in the stars of various sizes which spread out over the left-hand side of her head.

She went on to blame the Flemish-speaking tattooist for not being able to understand her French and English instructions.

I was lying: Kimberley Vlaminck originally claimed she had only asked for three star tattoos but ended up with 56 after she fell asleep

Amid a frenzy of media attention, she then vowed to sue tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz for the £9,000 she needs for laser surgery to have them removed.

6. It's just me. I'm so not a tattoo person. nt

8. Me either. I'll never get one.

But I do enjoy them from an artwork standpoint alone, and as a horror fan as well I can appreciate that neck tat. :)

9. An astute DU'er made the observation that in some profession, her tattoos will be a plus.

Bartender, for instance.

They were artfully done. Hope she learns to accept them.

10. I think they're beautiful.

Hope she learns to love them.

Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Marinas and District of Columbia. Yeah that works.
