Jenna requested a Maori styled tattoo of an emperor penguin to remind her of Antarctica, a place where she spent a period of her life, and which fascinated her.

We also prepared a second version with two joined penguins shapeing a heart to symbolize a characteristic of this animal: devotion. Devotion towards the mate and towards the babies (in this case pictured by a koru, a symbol of new life).

Waves motifs remark continuity through change.

 I LoVe it!! My husband knows that I love penguins, so on our last trip to TN he bought my mom, sister, and us a pass to the penguin playhouse. We got to hold a penguin and get our picture made with one. While we were getting our pic made he got down on one knee and proposed out of no where! Once i saw this tat i knew it was the one i wanted!! I cant wait to upload a picture =]
