Husbands Tattoo Idea - Need ideas!

My husband wants to get a caduceus on his back and he's trying to think of a specific type of snake to use as the two serpents. He doesn't want to use a heavy bodied snake since it would not look good wrapped around the staff, so thin bodied is best. Any ideas? Preferably it would have some color to it.

Bushmaster.

Ringed Pythons. Green Tree Pythons. Rinkhals. Bothriechis species.

Your two fave ball python morphs? ;)

elapids would look nice,king snakes?

coral snake and milk snake? XD

be carefull... Snakes are very difficult to tattoo... I say this as a lover of tattoos that has seen a LOT of cheesy looking snake tattoos.

hard to go wrong with a black mamba.

If it were me.. I'd get two cobras..the hood is unmistakable as to the type of snake it is..No explanation needed

I'd have to agree! It's all about the artists ability.

A lot of this decision will be dependent on the size of the tattoo as well.

I work in a tattoo shop and we have customers coming in all the time asking for very very detailed tattoos very small which isn't always possible.

It will be a large tattoo on his back. I'll show him some of the suggestions and see if any are to his liking.
