Greetings dear friends of Tattoo World. Today I join this interesting and fun initiative, especially to remember our childhood with those comics, anime and fantasies, now with the added bonus of imagining them drawn on our skin. The truth is that there are many comics that I consider as favorites, that's why the choice became a little difficult. However, I already have my three favorite options to show you in this initiative and tell you what they meant to me.

Before I start, I would like to tell you that I really liked Hello Kitty, that tattoo I would have liked to have, however, that comic did not come out in my childhood, but some time later, I think I was more than 15 years old by then. I never saw the comic, but I liked this character because of the accessories, stickers, thermoses and many other things. Now, if it's about comics to tattoo on my skin, one of my favorites was “Angel, the flower girl”. This was one of my favorite series, it's about a girl who had a mission, to travel around the world to find the flower of the seven colors that represent the rainbow.

What I liked about this series was that Angel wore a pin on his chest, in the shape of a flower, which gave him the power to change his clothes according to the occasion or circumstance of the trip. This happened when he pointed it at a flower, at that instant a bright light would emerge and magic would happen. In my innocence, I longed to have a pin like that, hehe, because it is beautiful, besides being able to change my clothes. I also wanted to know the grand finale, that 7-color flower must have been very beautiful and it really was. I like flowers very much, they represent our emotions, joy, friendship, values.... and in this series they talked a lot about their language, the language of flowers, who wouldn't like to know it?. My tattoo would be many beautiful flowers of different and radiant colors.

Popeye was one of the comics I liked the most, I even got to see the movie at the cinema and I was very pleased to see Cocoliso, a cute baby he had with Olivia. In this comic I suffered the injustice committed by his arch enemy, Brutus, against Olivia and Popeye himself, but then came the best part, when he ate the spinach, became strong and defeated Brutus, who was a great bully.

Eating spinach caught my attention and although I knew that its effect was not like in the comics, my mother had explained to me the sources of vitamins that this vegetable contains, it was something that motivated me to try it and to eat other vegetables, something that children don't like very much. In that part, Popeye really made a difference to me. Nothing better than an anchor tattoo to represent and remember Popeye the Sailor.

I loved watching these comics, I loved to see this cute little Canarito named Tweety, who sang beautifully, protected by his grandmother, but stalked by Silvestre, a black cat with a big red nose. Tweety was very tender and cute, innocent, but somehow he was free from his tormentor.

Tweety was incapable of doing anything wrong, he was noble, willing to make peace with Sylvester and be his friend, but no, that big cat always wanted to devour him. His cute little face rhymed with his favorite and characteristic phrase “I thought I saw a cute little cat”. That's when the danger started, I suffered too, hehe, but when it almost seemed that the cat was going to catch him, he was saved. I remember Tweety in his cage, happy, however, birds must be free, so I will remember him with a tattoo where freedom represents him.

Saludos estimados amigos de Tattoo World. Hoy me uno a esta interesante y divertida iniciativa, especial para recordar nuestra infancia con esos comics, anime y fantasías, ahora con el plus de imaginarlos dibujados en nuestra piel. La verdad es que son muchos los comics que considero como favoritos, por eso la elección se tornó algo difícil. No obstante, ya tengo mis tres opciones predilectas para mostrárselas en esta iniciativa y contarles que significaron para mí.

Antes de comenzar, les cuento que me gustaba mucho Hello Kitty, ese tatuaje sí que me hubiera gustado tener, sin embargo, ese comics no salió en mis tiempos de infancia, sino tiempo después, creo que ya tenía para ese entonces más de 15 años de edad. Nunca vi el comics, pero me gustaba este personaje por los accesorios, pegatinas, termos y muchas cosas más. Ahora bien, si de comics se trata para tatuarlo en mi piel, uno de mis favoritos era el de “Angel, la niña de las flores”. Esta era una de mis series favoritas, se trata de una niña que tenía una misión, viajar por el mundo para buscar la flor de los siete colores que representan el arcoíris.

Lo que me gustaba de esta serie era que Ángel llevaba un prendedor en su pecho, con la forma de una flor, éste le daba el poder de cambiarse de ropa de acuerdo a la ocasión o circunstancia del viaje. Esto ocurría cuando lo apuntaba hacia una flor, en ese instante emergía una luz brillante y ocurría la magia. En mi inocencia, anhelaba tener un prendedor como ese, jeje, porque es bellísimo, además de poder cambiarme de ropa. También quería conocer el gran final, esa flor de 7 colores debía ser muy bella y de verdad lo era. Me gustan mucho las flores, representan nuestras emociones, la alegría, amistad, valores…. y en esta serie se hablaba mucho de su lenguaje, el lenguaje de las flores, a quien no le gustaría conocerlo?. Mi tatuaje sería muchas flores hermosas de diferentes y radiantes colores.

Popeye era uno de los comics que más me gustaba, hasta llegué a ver la película en el cine y me agradó mucho ver a Cocoliso, un lindo bebé que tuvo con Olivia. En este comics yo padecía la injusticia que cometía su archi enemigo, Brutus, contra Olivia y el propio Popeye, pero luego venía lo mejor, cuando se comía la espinaca, se hacía fuerte y derrotaba a Brutus, que era un gran abusador.

Eso de comer espinacas me llamaba la atención y aunque sabía que su efecto no era como en el comics, mi madre me había explicado las fuentes de vitaminas que contiene este vegetal, fue algo que me motivó a probarlas y a comer otros vegetales, algo que a los niños no les gusta mucho. En esa parte, Popeye sí que me hizo marcar la diferencia. Nada mejor que un tatuaje de ancla para representar y recordar a Popeye el Marino.

Como me gustaba ver este comics, me encantaba ver a este lindo Canarito de nombre Tweety, que cantaba bellísimo, protegido por la abuelita, pero acechado por Silvestre, un gato negro con una gran nariz roja. Tweety era muy tierno y lindo, inocente, pero de alguna manera se libraba de su verdugo.

Piolín era incapaz de hacer algo malo, era noble, dispuesto a ser las paces con Silvestre y ser su amigo, pero no, ese gato grande siempre quería devorarlo. Su linda carita rimaba con su frase preferida y característica “me pareció ver a un lindo gatito”. Justo allí comenzaba el peligro, también sufría yo, jeje, pero cuando casi parecía que el gato iba a atraparlo, se salvaba. Recuerdo a Piolín en su jaula, feliz, no obstante, los pájaros deben ser libres, por eso, lo recordaré con un tatuaje donde la libertad así lo representa.
