It's that time again

 
Tattoo time! I'm starting to think about what my next tattoo will be. I'm thinking a medical alert symbol so if I'm ever out without my bracelet medical professionals will still be alert. I'm thinking some variation of this image. Still in the beginning stages. I think the next step is to research the origin of the symbol.

It is the Caduceus, a symbol of Hermes. It is often used as a symbol of medical practice (notably by the U.S. Army Medical Corps) though confusion with the Rod of Aesclepius (a single snake, no wings), which is the traditional symbol of medicine.

Wikipedia has all the details :D
