I knew it, I KNEW IT! Kimberley Vlaeminck, the Belgian girl who claimed she fell asleep while 56 stars were tattooed to her face, has admitted she was lying.
Well, of course she was lying. Either that or she was in a coma. I mean, how do you sleep through a man needling five stars onto your nostril?
But she's come clean now.
"I asked for 56 stars and initially adored them. But when my father saw them, he was furious. So I said I fell asleep and that the tattooist had made a mistake," she said.
And it was such an obvious, awkward, oh-crap sort of lie it's actually a little heartbreaking. She's only 18 and I think we've all suffered buyers' remorse.
So what have you bought that's caused you the most remorse?
When I was a teenager I happened to be sitting in a shopping mall food court with a bunch of friends, when I suddenly commented, "You know, I'm the only one here without a nosering."
Without warning I was dragged off to some tattoo parlour and held down in a chair while a terrifying middle-aged woman approached me with a fag hanging out of her mouth and a sort of gun-thing in her hand.
"Will it hurt?" I quavered. She gave me a petrifying grin and growled, "You'll see" and then shot me in the nose.
I kept the nosering in for about a year, mainly through peer-pressure, even telling my college tutors it was "a religious thing" (I was brought up Roman Catholic), but in the end I ditched it, and it was almost the happiest day of my life.
Dollymix comments are working again now, so g'warrrn, let us know your tales of buyers' remorse!
Mine was a tongue stud. I kept it in for years even thought it was never comfortable. Idiot.
Maybe I should have said someone did it to me while I was sleeping. Great big needle with no anesthetic... yeah, that'd be convincing.
looks quite odd!! isn't it..?
