Health Care Industry Tattoo
This is a traditionally symbol that represents medicine, healers and anything to do with health and well being.
Asclepius was an early Greek physician who was said to be the son of Apollo. It is said that the symbol first evolved when physician would use a stick to coax a worm or parasite out of the stomach of the afflicted.
The Staff of Asclepius has been adopted by the World Health Organization, and it is a popular tattoo motif for those who work in the health care industry, particularly those who provide emergency medical services.
