My Rattlesnake Tattoo - a photo on Flickriver

            A Rattlesnake Saved my Life

In early April of this year I was bitten by a rattlesnake on my left calf and hospitalized for many days. During my recovery in the hospital a CT scan was performed due to complications I had from swelling. The CT scan showed something that was unexpected. I had a cancerous cyst in my left kidney. Two months later, I had my left kidney removed. Had I not been bitten by the rattlesnake, the cancer likely would not have been found until after it had grown and spread to other organs.

I got this tattoo of a rattlesnake on my left calf to honor the snake that saved my life. This was my first (and so far only) tattoo. The tattoo artist was Danial Gagliardi (DGInkTattoo on Instagram).
