We are now accepting applications for the P.ink Angel Fund, where Personal Ink/FCancer will sponsor individual decorative tattoos for breast cancer survivors including lumpectomy scars, port scars, and male mastecomy scars.

Our goal is to sponsor these tattoos in locations across the country.

In order to submit a application, you must meet our qualification criteria, and there must be a qualified and available P.ink artist within a reasonable distance of your location. Please check our directory before filling out this form as it's required to identify an artist from our directory in order to submit your application.

We will reach out to your selected artist to ensure that they are available within 3 months to schedule a tattoo session, and that they can execute a tattoo in a style that you are open to.

Thank you so much for your interest in applying for a P.ink Angel Fund tattoo. 

We are so sorry, but we are unable to accept your application at this time based on one or more of your responses. 

Please see the list below for the criteria that need to be met in order to submit an application.

Should your situation change in the future we hope you will consider applying again another time.

Wishing you all the best,

Qualification Criteria

1. I have been personally diagnosed with breast cancer and am seeking a decorative tattoo to help cover my scars and I do not have the resources to obtain one on my own.

2. I understand that you do not provide nipple/areola tattoo/s, as part of the P.ink Angel Fund.

3. I am at least two years out from my last surgery, and have no pending surgeries. Note that some scars can take longer to heal, and it will be up to the artists to determine whether they can achieve a good outcome for you, or whether it would be better for you to wait.

4. I agree that I will receive a tattoo that can be completed in a maximum 5-6 hours. A good frame of reference is a medium open-hand sized tattoo. If I want more than that, it's my responsibility to make those arrangements ahead of time with my artist, including offering to pay for additional sessions, and inform my P.ink Representative of those arrangements. I also understand that my artist may not be available to schedule any additional appointments immediately.

5. I understand that I will see my draft tattoo design the day of my tattoo appointment and the opportunity for adjustments will be available at that time. This is a standard practice in the tattoo industry. Prior to your appointment, there will be a phone/video or in person consultation with your artist to discuss your design ideas. Your artist is the expert and will have the final say on design composition and placement as they understand what will work best with your body and scars.

6. I understand that a P.ink representative will be my main point of contact, and will facilitate communication and scheduling between me and my artist. I will not reach out directly to my artist until I'm officially connected to them by a P.ink representative.

7. I understand that P.ink will reach out to my identified artist to determine interest, availability, and ability to execute on my style preferences. There may be times where an artist may not be able to participate in this program, for reasons including, but not limited to, changed location, inability to schedule within 3 months, and inability to execute the desired style of tattoo.

8. I agree that I will not reach out to any P.ink artists independently regarding my nomination, application, or for any other reason related to this program.

9. I understand that my tattoo session may not be private and may occur while other clients and/or artists are in the shop.

10. I understand that I may not be able to bring a guest to my session, depending on the shop's guest guidelines.

11. I agree that photos will be taken of my tattoo by the artist for verification purposes for their reimbursement. These photos may also be used by Fuck Cancer and/or Personal Ink for marketing purposes. If I do not want my face to be visible publicly, I will advise my P.ink representative prior to my session in writing.

12. I agree to be interviewed by P.ink after my session and understand that quotes from that interview, and images of my tattoo may be used by them for promotional purposes.

Tattoo Styles

Tattoo styles are the different techniques and designs used in tattooing.

When choosing a tattoo design, this is the primary consideration. It's important to be familiar with the variety of styles available, and it helps to be open to different styles, as not all artists are skilled in all styles. In the section below, we'll ask you to indicate which styles you'd be willing to consider.

Qualified applicants are matched with available artists at our locations based on the how well the styles that applicants are open to align with the skill sets of the artists. So the more styles you are open to, the better chance of being matched with an artist at the location you apply to.

A few things to keep in mind:

• Not all shops have artists who accommodate all styles, particularly the more specialty styles like watercolor, or abstract.
• Not all artists work in color.
• Depending on the nature of your scarring, not all tattoo styles may be recommended.
  • For example: heavy scarring and/or radiation burns may not lend themselves to fineline work. If you select this style, please keep in mind that your artist may recommend varying the line weight, or adding shading/ color to areas with texture.

Tattoo Style Definitions:

• BOLD / TRADITIONAL / NEO-TRADITIONAL - bolder designs featuring black outlines & varied line weight with varying levels of shading
• FINE LINE - focuses on very thin, delicate lines to create designs with minimal shading
• MINIMAL / DECORATIVE - small details that accentuate or frame, rather than hide, the canvas
• WATERCOLOR - featuring bright colors and abstract designs, mimicking the appearance of a watercolor painting
• ORNAMENTAL / GEOMETRIC - uses intricate, often symmetrical patterns like mandalas, dotwork, geometry, etc
• ABSTRACT - free form, fluid style shapes, patterns, or lines

In the section below please select as many as you like. Remember, the more styles you are willing to consider, the better chance you would have to be matched with an available artist. Click on each image to highlight/select. Click again to deselect.
