 Watch this video and then we will ask some questions:


How many stars did she want? | How many stars did she get? | What’s her story of what happened? | What’s the tattoo artist’s story? | How did her father react? | How have the tattooed stars affected her life? | What action has she taken and why?

A woman in Belgium is living a nightmare after a visit to a tattoo shop. Kimberly Vlaeminck, 18, has complained to the police about tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz. Kimberly has 56 stars tattooed on her face. She said she only asked for three. She told reporters she fell asleep while her tattoos were put on. "I woke up when he was starting to tattoo my nose. I counted 56 stars. It’s frightening," she said. Mr. Toumaniantz said Kimberly got what she ordered, saying: "She was awake and looked in the mirror several times.” Kimberly now wants the tattoos removed.

I can’t imagine how Kimberly feels. Maybe she wanted the tattoos but then changed her mind when she looked in the mirror. Having a tattoo is a big decision. Most tattoos are for life. Once you have one, it’s difficult to remove. You need a special operation to make it disappear. People need to think about where to have a tattoo. A tattoo on your face is dangerous. You might not like it when you get older. Tattoos are really popular nowadays. Men and women now have them all over their body. It’s interesting when you go to the beach. It’s like a moving art show.
