Ah, this is the humanity I'm used to. Twin Cities resident decides $2700 silicone injection treatments are too expensive and hey, what do docs know anyway? So she buys $10 of silicone lubricant online, gets a syringe and injects her face with it.

Amazingly the results were not what she expected.

She doesn't look nearly as bad as I feared she would.

But still, yeah: dumbass.

Yeah, on one hand I'm impressed by her bravery in being willing to puncture her own face, but on the other hand it's probably just vanity and insecurity driving her. And maybe a touch of madness.

And I was expecting something worse, too, but maybe the face-transplant stories have raised the bar for me.

One of my co-workers yesterday said she saw a story about a woman who "fell asleep" while getting 3 stars tattooed on her face (around her eye area?). When she woke up, she found she'd been given 56 stars on her face instead.

How does one sleep through *56* tattoos?

I'm betting the girl was high on something. You sort of have to wonder if "You know what'd be a really good idea, as long as I'm in Romania? I think I'll get 3 stars burned permanently into my face, by a guy who doesn't have a language in common with me!" is the sort of thing an 18-year-old Belgian thinks when she's perfectly sober. So she probably passed out.

The tattoo artist and a witness say she requested 56 tattoos and was happy until her father saw them. Now she's covering. And if you see a picture of the tattoo artist, he is a sight to behold -- his face is tattooed as a skeleton with some musculature, and he has about 7 or 9 lip piercings. If I wanted a small tattoo on my face, I'd have selected an artist with a bit more demonstration of his grasp of subtlety. He did exactly what was asked of him.

Despite that, he's offering to split the cost of laser removal with her.

He also claims to have a witness who saw the girl get up to check herself several times in the mirror during the process, well after the third star.

That's right, I forgot that detail.

While I can see a face full of stars being a major employment drawback, I don't know that white star-shaped patches all over her face from the laser removal will be any better. She might be better off living with the tattoos.
