Kimberley Vlaminck, 18, said her father, Diego, gave her money to get three stars tattooed near her eye to uphold a family tradition of body art, Britain's Daily Telegraph reported Wednesday.
"My father wanted to pay because in our family everyone has a tattoo," she said.
Vlaminck said she fell asleep at The Tattoo Box in Courtrai and woke up with her face covered in "nightmare" tattoos.
"When he started to tattoo me, I did not feel pain and I fell asleep. I awoke as he tattooed me on the nose and I saw what he had done. I counted 56 stars," she said. "I cannot go out on to the street, I am so embarrassed. I just look ugly, a freak, mutilated."
Vlaminck's father is demanding $15,000 from The Tattoo Box to pay for laser tattoo removal surgery.
However, tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz denied any wrongdoing and said he is still seeking the $70 payment for the tattoos.
"She was awake all the time. I did not hypnotize or dope her, as they say, it was with agreement. No way could I have tattooed so many stars on her face against her will," he said.

Tattoo Artist
I am a tatoo artist myself And if this tattoo artist was using an confentional dermographe then she would have difficultly fallen asleep.
Have you ever heared how much noice some tatoo machines make?
And that only inches away from your ear?

This girl had to tell this guy she wanted the stars on her face like that. If he went on his own and put the stars on her face he needs to close his busniess.How can you go to sleep with someone on your face with a needle.....get REAL!.....If she was sleep she took a heavy drug .....notice I said SHE TOOK a heavy drug to make her sleep thru that....that man didn't give her anything except what she ordered......A FACE FULL OF STARS....SHE WANTED TO BE A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE OTHERS IN HER FAMILY.....NO CASE.
