Skeptics See Stars, Claim Tattooed Girl’s Face Is A Hoax
Is the story of Kimberley Vlaeminck’s star tattooed face a hoax? The 18-year-old Belgian girl supposedly fell asleep while her face was being tattooed with 3 stars and woke up with a constellation of 56 instead. Now she’s suing Romanian tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz for $14,000, the cost of laser surgery to remove her naptime mistake.
In addition to the dubious claim that she slept while the sensitive nerves of her face were being prodded with a needle, conspiracy theorists point to other facts they say suggest the whole thing is one big publicity stunt.
Among the few media outlets to interview the starlet is Belgian radio station MNM, who’s advertising agency, Famous, is behind the Kimberlizer. A French newspaper says the website, which allows visitors to digitally place 56 stars on their face via webcam, was opened in April, well before the story happened. Additionally, theorists point out that MNM’ s logo is a star, just like the ones covering Kimberley Vlaeminck.

Editor-in-Chief:
Tattooists always lay down a stencil of what the images will be and where they will be placed before they begin the tattooing process. Most shops require that you sign an agreement before the process begins, which outlines how the tattooing process will be conducted. It is profoundly unlikely that an undrugged person could receive a facial tattoo and sleep through it. I don’t think that a tattooist would tattoo a sleeping person who hadn’t had already agreed to the images that were stenciled in at the start of the process. Further, her tattoos look too thick to be believed and some almost appear to have fingerprints in them, a lot like stickers would look. Lastly, tattoos heal better without all that white goop that is being applied to her face in the videos. Leave the bandages on for a few hours and then wash with soap and water and avoid scratching it. Keep it clean and free of ointment and it will heal well without itching. Many articles are suggesting this is a hoax and that seems to be what it is.
If you look at her face carefully some of the outlines are off the skin others are brown outlines which looks more like a Henna tattoo than a regular one. Also considering how painful it is to get a nose piercing I dont know of anyone that could handle getting 5 tattoo’s on that part of the body. I have been into tattoo’s for a very long time and in my well educated opinion the only thing real in that picture is the girl’s phone. As far as that guy it seems like a good way to get his name out there around the world even in a negative way some people simply don’t care.
