Pink Breast Cancer Ribbon and 2 Indian Feathers Tattoo Representing Strength and Courage

Pink Breast Cancer Ribbon and 2 Indian Feathers Tattoo Representing Strength and Courage

I wanted a breast cancer ribbon tattoo because there are so many survivors in my family. My mom being a 26 year survivor (both breasts) has been called a walking miracle by many doctors.

Being part Cherokee, I love Native American designs and after doing some research I found out that two Indian feathers were usually painted on young Indian braves after their first battle, representing their strength and courage.

The design is usually worn as an armband but I thought what better images to put with the pink breast cancer ribbon.

I told Key,the tattoo artist from Indian Ink in Cherokee North Carolina (NC), what I wanted and he designed it.

He did it as though the feather portion of the tattoo is holding the Breast Cancer Ribbon Tattoo together. Since being around my mom when she went through her ordeal I know that it took alot of strength and courage.

Key also added some blue to the design because 1 out of every 100 men can also get breast cancer.

That tattoo is located on my right back shoulder so that if I want to show it I can and if not I don't..either way I love it!

From the webmaster:

That's a great breast cancer ribbon tattoo, Lorraine! I've never seen one as original and that had such personal meaning as yours.

Thanks a lot for sharing your inspirational story and for adding your picture to GoGoCycles Used Motorcycles for Sale tattoo gallery.

Wonderful!
by: Deborah

Thank you for sharing your story. My mother is a two-year survivor and I am a one-year survivor of breast cancer. We are also Native, Potawatomi from Oklahoma. One day soon I want to design a tattoo to symbolize what my family has been through. My daughters are also thinking of getting the same tat. I hope ours comes out looking as great as yours. Good luck!

Admire the tattoo

I am thinking about getting something like your tattoo. My dad, his mom and one of his sister all have died from pancreatic cancer. I am also Chippewa and I love this design although mine would be in purple since that's the ribbon color for pancreatic cancer.

I'm glad your mom is a survivor. It takes someone very strong to get through it and an even stronger person to be there for them.

This is amazing! I've always thought about getting a pink ribbon tattoo in honor of my nan who passed from breast cancer. My mum was just diagnosed with breast cancer 3 weeks ago so now I my mind is made up about getting one.

I got breast cancer the first part of last year. I finished all my chemo and radiation treatments and will be having a pink ribbon tattoo soon.

I came across this one that you have and I love it.

It's not like the others I've seen.

Job well done...

NATIVE AMERICAN HUSBAND
by: Anonymous

I loved your story. I admire the love for your mother and the obvious love for your heritage. I am a 1-year survivor. I lost one of my breasts to cancer last year; and like you, my husband is also native american (Mono Indian, North Fork, California). We both agree that that the pink ribbon w/the significants of the 2 feathers represents what and who we are as survivors of breast cancer. It's not only the cancer patient, but also our loved ones who prove their strength and courage, which makes us all "Survivors".

Thank you for sharing your design.

Sincerely,

Bill & Yvonne Davis
