OK, A little back story on this one. In Dec of '09 I started chemotherapy. One of the chemo agents I was on is called Bleomycin. I had a port (catheter) on the inside of my arm that fed directly into my heart. For 4 months this is how I was poisoned. After everything was said and done I commemorated my victory by getting this tattoo in the very spot the chemo agents were administered. The blood and scalpel represent the previous surgery I had that was unsuccessful in removing all of the tumor.

With that being said, I don't want sympathy (I made and make all kinds of cancer jokes) it's just a really cool back story on the tattoo.
