Description: Marvin the Martian was my favorite character as a kid on the cartoons. He was always that guy who kept on trying even when he might not succeed against the biggest odds. The set of irons symbolizes always finding a way in and a way out of any obstacle, and I've been in EMS for almost 13 years, so the "paramedic" at the bottom of the tat symbolizes achieving a goal that I had set in my past.
