Although I lived not that far, I must admit I did not go an visit the Belgian Royal Palace to have a look at this ceiling created by controversial artist Jan Fabre. He used 1.6m beetle shell and one must admit it looks awesome. PETArds, go for it!

Latest spin in Tattoostargate
Kimberley Vlaeminck, the girl who claimed having fallen asleep during a facial tattoo, to wake up to 56 stars instead of 3 tattooed on her face has now publicly backtracked and admitted she lied. She asked for 56 stars but started blaming the tattoo artist because her father was enraged.
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 the that the tattooist mad made a mistake.
Body artist Tourmiantz now has withdrawn the offer to pay half of the removal costs and also admitted having received ample publicity for his studio during the tattoostargate case. In the future he will insist on getting written permission before tattooing anyone else.
Via The Telegraph.
Belgian bus driver to be fired for being a pr0n star
It could only happen in my country of birth obviously. Wackos a gogo over there, first the girl who fell asleep while getting tattooed, and now the case of Audrey.
24 Year old/young Audrey is a professional and popular bus driver but on the verge of being fired for being Miss Nude Belgium 2009.
I was hauled before the director of human resources and he asked me to choose between my erotic career and my new career on the buses.
… He said that I had to sign a form pledging that I wouldn’t do any more nude pictures
There are no reports of any weird tattoos on her face, but darn… I have to catch a bus now!
Girl falls asleep at tattoo studio… wakes up with 56 stars tattooed on face
A Belgian teen girl went to a tattoo parlour to have 3 little stars tattooed near her left eye. She fell asleep and woke up with 56 stars tattooed on her face.
First lets put things straight: these tattoos look rather cute. BUT, no tattoo artist should accept to make facial body art on an barely major person. 18 _IS_ too young to make that kind of decision.
Now the story.
Belgian girl Kimberley Vlaminck, 18, is suing Rouslan Tourmaniantz to make him pay for removal of the 53 tattoos on her face. No one knows why/how she fell asleep at the parlour, but she only requested three little stars. Drug allegations are obvious but the artists denies having doped or hypnotized Kimberley.
“I think he didn’t understand what I wanted,” the teenager complained to the UK Sun. “He spoke only fractured English and French, but I explicitly said in my native tongue, French, that I wanted three little stars only near my left eye.” (The French words for three (“trois”) and 56 (“cinqueante et six”) sound nothing alike. Maybe go with hand gestures next time.)
Still I think the tats look kinda curte.
Update: After sueing the tattooist for deliberate assault and battery, they have now come to an agreement. The tattooist will pay for half of the expenses of having the tattoos removed by laser. The estimated cost of this is €10 000, but he says he doesn’t want the girl to be unhappy or feel scarred for the rest of her life.
Update 2: Kimberley has admitted that she asked for all 56 stars. Aaawwwwww…
