Models Get Inked at Rodarte

When I first saw the photos from Rodarte's runway show, I couldn't help but be immediately drawn to the swirly, geometric arm tattoos worn by the models on the runway. It was a little bit Xena: Warrior Princess and Kat Von D combined. Fab was on the fence about the clothing, inspired by California condors, but as for that well-thought-out tribalesque arm makeup, I was definitely impressed. MAC Senior Artist Chantel Miller, who designed the look, was influenced by the Māori people, an indigenous group in New Zealand. "The idea for the tattoos stemmed from [designers] Kate and Laura’s desire to celebrate makeup as art not only for the face, but also for the body in a similar way that Indian culture uses henna. They want women to look at makeup as an accessory for an outfit the way you would a bracelet or a necklace," said Miller.

Tattoo Removal: The Stats Are Surprising

BellaSugar — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:28:00 -0700

If you have a tattoo or know someone with a tattoo, do you/they regret it? Dr. Tattoff, Inc., a California-based company, hopes that's the case, as it hopes to make its tattoo-removal services available nationwide. With tattoos more popular than ever, it looks like it has quite the potential clientele.

Interestingly enough, 85 percent of the company's customers are women aged 18 to 44. "Tattoos are becoming more common in the workplace and in society," chief executive John Keefe told the Los Angeles Times. "My suspicion is that along with that, the tattoo regret factor will only grow as people get older," he added. Find out more stats when you read more.

I Lied, Says Star-Faced Teenager

BellaSugar — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 07:11:17 -0700

In a move that will likely leave you shocked, just shocked, the star-faced teenager has confessed that she made her whole sob story up. Previously, Kimberley Vlaminck claimed that she'd fallen asleep while a tattoo artist inked 56 stars on her face (rather than the three she'd requested). But as details of her story began to wither under scrutiny, Vlaminck revealed the truth.

It's not as though she decided to come clean on her own, though; she inadvertently confessed while being filmed by a hidden camera. "I asked for 56 stars and initially adored them," she said in front of a TV crew. "But when my father saw them, he was furious. So I said I fell asleep and the that the tattooist had made a mistake."

The tattoo artist in question, Rouslan Toumaniantz, had always maintained that Vlaminck wanted all 56 stars. Threatened with a lawsuit, he maintained his innocence but offered to pay for half the cost of laser tattoo-removal treatment. "Kimberley is unhappy and it is not my wish to have an unsatisfied client," he'd said. Now he's taken that offer off the table, but it remains to be seen whether the star-faced liar will keep the ink.

Star-Faced Tattoo Girl Continues Her Complaint Campaign

BellaSugar — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:59:18 -0700

A whopping 95 percent of you think that the case of this star-faced teenager is going nowhere fast. Like you, I keep wondering, "Who could fall asleep while 56 stars were tattooed on your face?!" But Kimberley Vlaminck continues to argue that she deserves payment because she asked for only three tattoos. Her original claim - the tattoo artist spoke broken English and French and therefore didn't understand her request - seems pretty flimsy, considering how well the guy speaks English in this video.

Does This Star-Faced Teen Have a Case?

Fire up your BS detectors, because you're going to need them for this story. A teenage girl is suing a tattoo artist for inking 56 stars on her face. Kimberley Vlaminck claims that she asked for only three, and that she fell asleep during the tattoo process. Now she's seeking damages of nearly $15,000 to pay for laser treatments to remove the ink. Not so fast, says tattoo artist Rouslan Toumaniantz. "No way could I have tattooed so many stars on her face against her will," he protested. Check out her photo and tell me, do you think she has a case? Or is this merely a case of after-the-fact regret?
