Too tattooed

There are some places where you can’t be too careful.

Like a tattoo parlor.

And don’t take my word for it. Ask Kimberley Vlaeminck, 18, of Belgium.

Kim wanted three stars tattooed on her face. After all, millions of kids have three stars tattooed on their face. You can’t walk through a mall without seeing a galaxy of ’em.

But Kim didn’t walk out of the tattoo parlor with three stars on her face. She walked out with 56! And she’s not happy about it! (Duh!)

Kim said she fell asleep during the procedure. And when she awoke, she had 53 more stars on her face than she planned.

This raises many interesting questions. Like how can you sleep while you’re being tattooed? Doesn't it hurt like hell, especially after the first 20 or 30 stars?

And how could Kim and the inkster have been so far apart? I mean, if she wakes up with four or even five stars, hey, that’s understandable. But 56?

And how many stars can you tattoo on a face until you run out of face? I bet 56 is real close.

But don’t feel too sorry for Kim. She seems like a level-headed girl. She’s going to keep the stars on her forehead and have the rest removed.

Heck, she’ll probably look back on this little incident one day and laugh.

“Hey, did I ever tell you guys about the time I went into a tattoo parlor and ended up with 53 more stars on my face than I wanted? It’s freakin’ hilarious!”

I’m sure everyone will laugh.
