UPDATE:  It's a hoax.  The dutch website geenstijl.nl has been investigating, and found it to all be a viral marketing campaign dutch radio station MNM, whose logo happens to contain a star.  Suspicions began when friends a family seemed to be exclusively available for interview with the station.  Further investigations revealed that other websites, such as the kimberlizer, have been in production since as early as April.   The kimberlizer site was also made by the same agency that launched MNM.  The tattoo is a temporary henna thingie.

Police in Belgium are investigating a complaint from a teenager who says a tattooist peppered her face with stars after she asked for only three.

Kimberley Vlaeminck, 18, said she fell asleep during the procedure. "I woke up when he was starting to tattoo my nose... I counted 56 stars, it is frightening," she said.

Tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz, who is Romanian, said his client did not fall asleep and she got exactly what she had ordered. He rejects Ms Vlaeminck's claim he had misunderstood what she had asked for.

"She was awake and looked in the mirror several times as the procedure was being done," said Mr Toumaniantz, who works at Tattoo Box in Kortrijk. He says his client only regretted the tattoos later.

"She agreed, but when her father saw it, the trouble started," Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws quoted Mr Toumaniantz as saying. The teenager has told Belgian media she wanted three modest stars tattooed near her eye and she awoke to "a nightmare".

Ms Vlaeminck has said she wants to keep the tattoos on her forehead but would have the rest removed.

She's probably fed up of hearing " get your tatts out for the lads".

Granma wondered what all the fuss was about.
