Man inks his name on girlfriend's face the day they meet

2/4/2013

You might think a tattoo artist who got international attention after being accused (albeit falsely) of inking 56 stars on a young woman's face without her permission would be cautious about permanently marking up women. But love is stronger than logic, so that is not the case with Ruslan Toumaniantz. The Belgium-based tattoo artist is back in the spotlight after scrawling his first name across the face of his Russian girlfriend, Lesya, on the very first day they met in person, with her consent. (See the photos above.) The couple connected online and corresponded for about a month before they met. They insist the facial ink is a symbol of their enduring love, although we wouldn't include it on our list of tattoo ideas. They're reportedly engaged, and Lesya has already changed her last name on Facebook. He couldn't have just given her a ring? [Source]
