Description
This was a design as part of an idea for a commission that revolves around the concept of luck. The Caduceus, while known by many as a symbol for health is also known as a symbol of good fortune.While I like the design the client isn't a big fan of snakes, so I figured I'd throw this design up here while I return to the drawing board
I'll be adding this design to my new RedBubble account as well so if you are interested in wearing this design or seeing what else I have you can check it out here [link]

If your client is looking for a symbol for luck why don't you use the roman goddess fortuna or one of her symbols?

May I have permission to use your image...namely, on my own back? Non profit, of course. Not that my back makes alot of money...

I second the question from BlueAlchemy17. Would love to hear more about how the concept of luck plays in. Great design though.

I would love to use this as a tattoo, could you give me more information on your particular design?

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not but the cadaceus was the rod/staff carried by Hermes and was actually adorned with two ribbons that were later misconstrued as serpents.
So, there's an option based on the original mythos that the client may favor.

Oooh, I like it! Maybe when I'm older I might have to ask permission from ya to get this one done. Alas, until then I'll have to wait.
Still, its a really nice design. What does the V II mean?

V = 5 and II = 2 in Roman numeralsΒ
