On Sunday, tattoo artist (and possible Steely Dan fan?) Doctor Woo of Los Angeles' Shamrock Social Club tattoo shop posted an Instagram of Miley Cyrus sporting a brand new tattoo on the back of her upper arm. As rumors that the on again/off again couple might get married abound, the tattoo, of a jar of Vegemite, has to be a tribute to her Australian boyfriend, actor Liam Hemsworth. Because nothing says "Australia" like Vegemite (other than Foster's beer, punching kangaroos, and the official Shrimp Barbie).
The only thing America really knows about Vegemite is that Australian band Men At Work sang about it in their hit "Land Down Under." According to Wikipedia, Vegemite is a "dark brown Australian food paste made from leftover brewers' yeast extract with various vegetable and spice additives," which sounds weird and disgusting enough to be authentically Australian.
Cyrus and Hemsworth split in 2013, but seem to be back together now, with Cyrus recentlyposting a selfie of herself in a "Hemsworth" T-shirt and even wearing the ring from their earlier engagement. Hopefully, their romance will work out and he can get a tattoo of a jar of an equally weird and gross American food paste, like Marshmallow Fluff. Ah, the sandwiches of romance.
