About
Personal Ink
Personal Ink (P.ink) is dedicated to empowering women to reclaim their bodies after mastectomies. Through education and connection with experienced tattoo artists who can help, we are committed to ensuring that breast cancer never has to leave the last mark.
We achieve our mission through two approaches: P.ink Days to bring communities of women together for curated healing experiences every October and the P.ink Angel Fund to meet women where they are to find closure through art after a mastectomy.
P.ink was founded by Noel Franus in 2013 as a grassroots movement and became a program of Fuck Cancer in 2019. By joining forces, we are able to reach more women in more cities across the United States.
“WITH HUNDREDS OF RECIPIENTS AND HUNDREDS OF TALENTED MASTECTOMY-TATTOO ARTISTS, MANY LIVES ARE TRANSFORMED THANKS TO WHAT WE’VE BUILT TOGETHER.”
— Noel Franus, P.ink Founder

About FUCK CANCER
Fuck Cancer is a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to advancing health equity through early detection and prevention programs, and by providing resources to navigate, manage, and cope with cancer. With wit, edge, and humor, we’re changing the way people think and talk about cancer and encouraging them to be active rather than passive when it comes to their cancer risk.
