This girl is so dumb

She allegedly asked for 3 stars on her face and ended up with 56 after falling asleep at the chair

I dont know about you guys who may have tattoos but you dont tend to fall asleep when having a tattoo done, especially when they are on your face lol

I think she asked to have it done, but when she got home she had to give an excuse to her parents and now its gone too far

idiot

If you look at the tattoos now they are starting to go to shit on her face...unlucky

Tattoos do that naturally, it goes away. Pretty much all tattoos look like that in the first week or so.

If she asked for three stars and got 56 then yea, she very much can sue. Its like, one of the things courts were designed for.

Seems pretty open and shut. 56 is a big difference from 3.

I gotta say, falling asleep while getting tattooed... that's damn impressive. I've always heard that getting a tattoo is kinda painful.

This story first came out 2 years ago. Have there been any meaningful developments?

Not being an expert on tattoos but knowing it hurt to be stabbed with a needle repeatedly, I would agree that she is withholding some information.

Most likely that she was high as a kite.

I would say that there is a very good reason that here in Denmark it's illegal for a tattoo artists to give people tattoos in the face or on the hands.

This was a story from 2 years ago, and it turned out that she had indeed asked for all those stars but immediately had buyers remorse after her parents exploded at her, and thus tried to blame the tattoo artist.

I'd be wondering if the same thing that made her fall asleep during the tattooing made her ask for 56 stars and then backpedal when she sobered up.

Oh!

Well then.

My cunning instincts serve me again.

Off to fight crime!

I think this depends on whether she can prove that she only wanted three. I'm not sure how heavily regulated the tattoo industry is in Europe, but this is a good example for why you should put what you want down in writing first.

Girl with 56 stars tattooed on face admits she asked for them.

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

Really getting one thing tattoo'd on your face is too many, and I say this as someone who likes and has tattoos.

I think there should be a "cooling off" period when it comes to tattoos, like handguns. You want this tattoo? Great, wait 48 hours and then come back to see if you still want it.

Or, mandatory temporary tattoos that last at least 72 hours that look exactly like what you want and where you want them.

An interesting thing I heard of once was to get tattooed with a dye that only shows up under a blacklight, so that you could crazy tattoos, even in the face, and keep your banking job during the week, while being a party animal during the weekend.

I this actually a thing, or is it so rare to run into a club with a blacklight that it would be pointless?

Yep it's really a thing and it's pretty neat.

I don't know how well they stand up long term, and I wouldn't go to just any tattoo artist to get something like that done, since scarring can be an issue if the artist is too aggressive or heavy handed.

Stupid Mr Whoopsie Name

You are the only one so far behind here, Kworn.
