Star of Life

An EMS symbol that represents emergency and trauma care.  The six points of the star represent the key steps of emergency response and care.  The first 5 are prehospital, the 6th is delivery to definitive care... that's ME and my trauma team.
My rough draft based on the Star of Life, the batstar, the red coral branch, and the sea snake wrapped around the Rod of Asclepias.   

My tattoo artist for this specific project -- Sean Stewart of Fat Cat Tattoo in Jackson, CA -- took this drawing and then turned it into the exact tattoo that I wanted.
