Of all the noble professions out there, nurses are probably the sexiest. It may be a bad reputation for the job, but most people have this perception of nursing as a job that requires women to wear body-hugging, short skirted uniforms. However, kidding aside, to commit into the nursing profession is committing to a life of unbiased health service. Especially in these times wherein bad entities ignite chaos and strike terror everywhere, nurses are expected to be on call and ready to receive patients anytime.
To send our salutes to the most caring and the most patient nurses of the world, we dedicate the skin arts for today. Tattoos selected and highlighted today are inks that symbolize the profession or proud representations of being a nurse. There is nothing more amazing tribute for a profession than having to endure pain and get an almost perpetual art inked on your one skin.

Aside from the obvious nurse skin art, an element that may be used as an inspiration for nurses is the Caduceus. Just like with doctors, the caduceus, also known as the staff of Hermes, symbolizes the life of service in the field of medicine. The truth is, the use of caduceus to symbolize medicine is a mistake in the first place. The mistake started when the US Army Medical Corps used caduceus as their insignia then people thought after that it is the correct symbol. Anyways, moving forward to the present time, the caduceus is still widely used to symbolize the medical profession and sometimes it is used to create cool tattoos inspiring not just nurses and doctors but also the other professionals in the realm of medicine.

On the other hand, the Rod of Asclepius is the correct symbol for the medical profession. The most obvious difference of the rod from the caduceus is the number of snakes illustrated with the staff. The Rod of Asclepius only has one snake while caduceus has two. If you are to survey the world to what they feel is the correct symbol, you’ll probably get 50-50 score favoring both Caduceus and Asclepius. No one can blame the world though since the mistake became a convenient tradition. Either way, the purpose of their symbolism is still felt. People still recognize the level sacrifice and dedication of a medical professional once they see any of the symbols tattooed on human skin.
