Why Tats + sleep = bad idea.

Im leaning towards the tattooists version of things...but WOW.

I do not have any tats, so maybe someone can explain this...

How do you fall asleep while someone is stabbing you with a needle?

Easy, get really drunk.

Bullshit...

If you look closely at the second photo, you can see what looks like makeup on her skin, under the tattoos. I think this article is fake, and she's wearing an appliance (maybe skin-colored latex with fake tattoos on it).

I could be wrong, of course, but it does look strange.

I also thought the pic looked strange, but I guess i thought it was lotion or something. If the tattoos are fresh, she has to keep them moisturized..but yeah. It doesnt make a whole lotta sense.

There are a lot of problems with this article. I also looked at other ones which do say she was drunk. Im only going to point out three because Im tired.

1. tattoos on the face hurt more then you can imagine. She would have had to been passed out not to feel all of them. No way could you sleep through it.

2. It says she paid 55(think it means euros) A tattoo the size of a silver dollar cost about 30-50 dollars. I would have cost her a lot more to get all those.

3. Before the artist starts they make a blue print of the tattoo and place it where you want it to be, which marks your skin in the blue print.. They then "ink" the tattoo over this blue print as a guideline. Before they start and after the blue print is on your skin they ask you if this is how you want it and where you want it to be.
When I had one of mine done, I didnt like the placement do the artist had to blue print it two more times before I liked the placement.

This article makes no sense at all to me.
I had a friend get one on the side of his head which partially came out onto his temple. (This was done at someones home btw). This guy was tough as nails, tattoos all over, very hard core etc. He had to drink about 5-7 shots of tequila and a ton of beer to tolerate the pain of the tattoo.

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

Someone needs to tell her there is a hole the size of the Grand Canyon in her story.

[iradney]

HOOOOOWEEEE, she is a big fat liar. Basically everything Miyon said - they gotta use a template, I don't know any tat artists that go freehand! No way it was that cheap, and lessee - oodles of nerve endings in the face, quite close to the bone - no way in hell she fell asleep.

How are 56 stars on your face any worse than 3? I mean, anyone who doesn't like the 56 stars probably wouldn't like the 3 either.

[PepperElf]

it's not bad in my opinion...


but you know i once had a temp one on my arm... henna... they put the pattern on my arm by trasnferr so i got to see it before they applied the henna ink....

it's surprising she didn't notice the pattern before they inked?

Because 3 is 53 smaller than 56, and therefore wouldn't take up half her face?

Updates on the story.

After reading a few of the comments, I was beginning to think the photos were fakes. Better photos in this link.

And check out the artist. Someone who really lives his work!

I looked at the newest picture and it raises a question for me. I've only ever seen old tattoos not new ones. Are they really that bumpy and raised on the skin?

I imagine there's a certain amount of swelling, especially on a sensitive area like the face.

What struck me, with this second link, is that the tats are on the opposite side of her face.....?
