I wanted to get a tattoo to symbolize my constant searching for happiness (the surface). It is also part of lyrics from the Stick To Your Guns song “Looking For The Surface,” which I love. It’s also a cover-up of a penguin I got, who is now drowning, damn global warming!
(Tattoo by Travis at In The Blood Tattoo in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.)

@3 – I pretty sure the penguin was in the bottom right of the piece, i still think you can make out part of its wing.
Besides that, solid tattoo. And i’m loving the pair of thursday doves as well.

Did the words come first, then the surrounding was another separate tattoo? I wish they kinda ‘connected’ more… know what I mean?
