I want to get a cadeceus on my back just short of the shoulders so that I can wear a vest without it showing and down the middle of my spine to the small of my back. I drew it up and researched the best tattooist for it in the south east said it would be about £600-800 and take aroun 30 hours on the chair so suggested 5 sessions. When I have the money to spare I will get it done

Definition said:
The caduceus (☤) (/kəˈdjuːsiəs/, -ʃəs, -ˈduː-; κηρύκειον in Greek) is typically depicted as a short herald's staff entwined by two serpents in the form of a double helix, and sometimes is surmounted by wings. This staff first was borne by Iris, the messenger of Hera. It also was called the wand of Hermes when he superseded Iris in much later myths.

In later Antiquity the caduceus may have provided the basis for the astrological symbol representing the planet Mercury and in Roman iconography was often depicted being carried in the left hand of the Greek god Hermes (Roman god, Mercury), the messenger of the gods, guide of the dead and protector of merchants, gamblers, liars and thieves.

The caduceus is sometimes used as a symbol for medicine, especially in North America, through confusion with the traditional medical symbol, the rod of Asclepius, which has only a single snake and no wings.

Not yet complete, still more shading to do.

Next one is a drawing titled anvil man by Sandro Castelli, and that ones going above it on my Upper arm to form a full sleeve, eventually i will have two full sleeves. Will be a combination of both my art work and favourite artists of mine.
