Barzam WTF IV

Ok, fellow bar preppers (and any other law students and lawyers who want to chime in):

It's time to play NAME THOSE TORTS!!

18-year-old Kimberley, a Belgian teenager is suing Romanian tattoo artist Rouslan, claiming he put 53 extra star tattoos on her face after she fell asleep. Kimberley claims she went into Rouslan's shop for three tattoos and ended up with 56. She says, "I closed my eyes and didn?t feel any pain. I fell asleep and was woken up from the pain on my nose when he was busy applying a big star. I am so upset by this I cannot look in the mirror any more." Rouslan claims Vlaeminck was all for the stars, but trouble came when Kimberley?s angry father showed up. Rouslan says, ?From that moment it was bad for her. Before she was just doing what she wanted to do.?

Discuss fully all claims and defenses arising from these facts. Assume this happened in a jurisdiction that has adopted the common law definitions of all torts and that pure comparative negligence applies.
