Nonprofit group Fuck Cancer is teaming with agency Mischief @ No Fix Address and a roster of “world renowned” tattoo artists to turn cancer survivors’ radiation marks into symbols of resilience.   

The initiative is called The Mark Of Life and celebrity tattoo artists like Scott Campbell and Jake Karamol are donating their time so that survivors can have their radiation marks transformed into tattoos.  

The idea for The Mark Of Life effort began at Mischief.  

"Two years ago, my friend and colleague was devastated by his aunt's passing," said Vanessa de Beaumont, associate creative director at Mischief. "She had received radiation marks during treatment, and as we heard stories from others with a similar experience, the project began to take shape.”  

“By the end of that afternoon,” added de Beaumont, “’The Mark of Life’” was a dozen-page deck and it's only grown from there. Everyone involved has their own relationship with cancer, which makes this project so special."  

The “Mark Of Life” initiative is currently rolling out nationwide, with participating tattoo artists opening spots for survivors who wish to transform their radiation marks. The campaign also welcomes donors to sponsor tattoos for survivors in need.

Heather Kun, CEO of Fuck Cancer, stated, "This initiative allows people with radiation markers the chance to turn their daily reminder of cancer into something of beauty and hope.”  

The nonprofit is dedicated to cancer prevention, early detection, and providing emotional and practical support to those affected by the disease.
