Girl "falls asleep" at tattoist, comes home with 56 tattoos

[iBlue]

...
As for the MRI and sleeping ....I had a head one just recently and damned if I could go to sleep,that banging messed me right up and I fell over after getting of the scan bed.....{no contrast}

Just curious - Do the scanners you guys use have the horrible enclosed head piece?....on TV it appears some are more like CT scanners.

Yes, as far as I know, you always have to have the "head piece" because it contains the coils (containing conductive wire to create a magnetic field) which are needed to focus and produce the image. (or something to that effect) If you get an MRI elsewhere on your body you get the coils placed on that region as well.

TV isn't always so detail oriented, what with it not being truly for diagnostic purposes and all.




Aaaanyway, I'm glad starry-faced surprise came clean.

I used to be a tattoo artist, and had several clients fall asleep while being worked on, it's not too uncommon.

I think her story is suspect though. Why would the artist basically destroy his source of income? Because he definitely won't be getting much work if the girls story ends up being true.

Edit: nevermind. Should have read through the whole thread. Guess she was lying after all, god what a lame.

The story reaches its conclusion!

Kimberley has admitted that she did ask for the tattoo, and got afraid when her dad dissaproved of the tattoo, so she invented the whole story about falling asleep. (here's the google translated article)

Pretty much what I (and many others) expected from the beginning.

And here's the CNN.com video: http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2009/06/24/ac.shot.tues.cnn

In the spirit of the new (and apparently, awful) Transformers sequel, maybe we should call her Starscream?

She confessed

She confessed to the lie.

I think it's not possible to fall asleep during the process. And if one saw the dude doing the work, yikes!

it may look worse after the laser. she needs to grow up and just accept and enjoy it. you make a bad disision that is permanent you need to buck up and accept it.

That's a good point. The removal process may make it look worse.

• Kimberley has admitted that she did ask for the tattoo, and got afraid when her dad dissaproved of the tattoo, so she invented the whole story about falling asleep.

• She confessed to the lie.

Good to see that she finally told the truth.

It's good that she finally told the truth, but I hope she understands the consequences of impugning someone's professionalism like she did. What a cowardly jerk.

Mine took about 40 minutes I think it was.My poor cousin {MS looking for lesions} was 30 and then back in again for 50.I dont know how she put up with it,mind you she hates them as much as I do now.


Apologies for the shocking punctuation also,is related to why I needed the scan :}

MS here too, and I have to get brain and full spine MRIs fairly often (usually every 8-10 months). With and without contrast, so it takes a couple of hours. I was never claustrophobic until I went through my first, but that one was bad all around. I'm used to them now, which is why I can fall asleep. But I also spend time trying to make music with the "beat" of the magnets banging.

Hopefully it's sort of a wake-up call to parents as well. If your fury with your child's stupid decision is so great that you let them go and defame other people just to preserve your dignity... that's not right. That's not a good message of personal responsibility for any parent to send to their child.

Considering that she has admitted that she's a big cowardly and rotten liar I hope those offers for free laser removal have been retracted. She can pay for it just like every other regretful tattoo "owner" now.

"I just want a couple. Yeah, right there. You know, like to the left of my eye a little."

"Sure, sure."

*20 minutes later*

"WHY ARE YOU TATTOOING ME ON THE SIDE OF MY NOSE AND FOREHEAD."

The tattooist has already retracted his offer...
