Tattoo


Tattoo of the bubblegum variety- the very best despite its tendency to flake off. The other variety - too much commitment.

Oh, I loved these bubblegum tattoos! Those were the days of: "No I ain´t going to wash my hands and arms, Mom!" and then being cranky because she still made you to. The gum was called "Bazooka" and we bought it at the Hillmann store for 10 Pennies, but only in Winter, summer time was of course reserved for ice-cream. Can you see how your adorable illustration brings back my whole childhood? :)
