BRUSSELS, (Reuters) – A Belgian teenager has told  police how she emerged from a tattoo parlour with 56 stars over  one side of her face, rather than the three she had asked for,  prosecutors said yesterday.

“I said this part, the top, is ok, but not the rest,”  Kimberley Vlaeminck from the city of Kortrijk, 90 km (56 miles)  northwest of Brussels, told Belgian broadcaster VRT.
The 18-year-old said she fell asleep during the procedure,  and woke up in pain when her nose was being tattooed.

A spokesman for Kortrijk prosecutors’ office said police  were investigating after a complaint from the teenager.

The tattoo artist said Vlaeminck had agreed to 56 stars.
