This is not a joke

At the risk of turning this into tattoo week on the NaturalBlog, I want to pass along this item sent to me by one of my original readers, 8greensneakers.

Take a look at this poor English girl on the right. She says she asked for just three star tattoos on her face, but ended up with 56 of them after she fell asleep in the tattoo artist's chair. "I look like a bloody freak," she told the British tabloid The Sun.

But there are two sides to every sad tattoo story. The artist who inked her up, Romanian Toumaniantz, says she was awake the whole time and only complained after her boyfriend and father made a fuss. I tend to believe ol' Romanian. I mean, would this face lie?
