A Belgian teen who claimed she had fallen asleep while being tattooed and woke up to find her face covered in stars has confessed to lying.

18-year-old Kimberley Vlaminck insisted she dozed off after requesting three stars be tattooed on her cheek - only to find she had 56 etched in her skin when she woke.

She even told the media she planned to sue tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz for the money to have them removed.

But she has now admitted she asked for the 56 stars and only lied after her dad hit the roof.

"I asked for 56 stars and initially adored them," she said, according to the UK's Telegraph newspaper. "But when my father saw them, he was furious. So I said I fell asleep and that the tattooist had made a mistake."

Tattooist Toumaniantz, who had always maintained the girl has asked for the tattoos, had originally offered to pay half of the costs of removal. But he has now withdrawn his offer after Vlaminck's confession, adding that he plans to get written consent from all clients from now on.

    I found a great site """"" MillionaireLovelinks.com """""" It 's where you have the opportunity dreaming about dating a millionaire and make it true! I thought everyone needed to meet some miracle after all the terrible stuff in the news and the economy :)

    fir_zpg015 - I hate to be the one to break it to you, but that's what happens when a negative or image gets flipped. Sometimes it's done so it fits a certain area better, sometimes it's just one of those things that happen. Fell asleep - yeah right!

    Wow, what a total TWEEZOT. A TWEEZOT is a sick person who runs around on the beach, sucking farts out of dead seagulls. Only a TWEEZOT would get facial tattoos and then lie to defer the blame onto someone else. What if she had her labia pierced? I wonder who would get arrested?

    Perhaps if parents learnt to have more open and understanding relationships with their kids then the kids wouldnt have to lie to prevent their parents from loosing it

    I agree with what everyone else has said there is no way that you would fall asleep if you were getting your face tattooed I feel for the tattoist as he is the one that will have his busniess ruined because of her it is so sad that she took it to that level...
