Where do you get goose bummps?
You get goose bumps on your skin. Each one of your hairs has a very small muscle (arrector pili) attached to it.When this muscle contracts, it causes the hair to stand upwards pushing some of the skin into a tiny hill. What you will see is a goose bump. You don't notice that the hairs are also up. But the same thing occurs in other animals and they appear larger.

What muscle that causes a goose bump?
Goosebumps are caused by little muscles called the arrectores pilorum (the hair erector muscles). Contraction of these muscles elevates the hair follicles above the rest of the skin. And it is these tiny elevations we perceive as goose bumps. Source: http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=6842
