So maybe people don't take naps in tattoo chairs afterall...

A few days ago I wrote about Kimberley Vlaeminck, a Belgium teenager from Kortrijk, 56 miles northwest of Brussels, who claimed she fell asleep in a tattoo chair after agreeing to have three stars tattooed on her face and woke up to find 56.

She had said she was going to sue the tattoo artist, Rouslan Toumaniantz, who said his client wanted the tattoos but only changed her story after her dad did not approve of the tattoos.

It turns out his story is what happened and Vlaeminck has since admitted she asked for the tattoos and changed her story after her dad saw them and freaked out.

There are a lot of lessons to be learned here, such as: 1) it turns out people don't generally take naps in tattoos chairs; 2) dads don't like to see their daughters with 56 stars tattooed on their face; 3) the best place for 56 stars is in the sky, or your bedroom ceiling, not your face; 4) lying to get your way out of trouble, probably not the best of ideas any day of the week, when that lie makes headlines across the world, really not the best of ideas; 5) if you own a tattoo pallor, it's a good idea to get written consent from your clients as to what both parties agreed to have done prior before starting any work, or at least that's the lesson Tourmariantz is taking from all this.
