Ideas for a tattoo to represent cancer that isn't a ribbon?
My mum is battling cancer of the breasts, stomach and spinal cord and I want to get a tattoo for her. Something that will make sense when she is alive, but will also make sense after she passes away, whenever that may be. All I seem to see in terms of cancer tattoos is ribbons, but I want something a bit more creative and visually appealing.I already asked this in the health and beauty tattoo section but I thought I'd ask it here in case there were people with cancer or who knew people with cancer who have already gotten a great idea done.

Question about cervical cancer?
I am an uncircumcised male. I have been reading that uncut males are at a greater risk of giving their partner Cervical cancer. I don't understand how this is possible. Why uncircumcised men and not circumcised? I don't have any STD's, I use protection, and I don't sleep around with tons of women. Also, I shower daily, sometimes twice if I work out or something. Can someone give me some input, please? Also, I am confused about something else. Why are uncut guys more susceptible to contracting STDS HIV, etc? Again, if you use protection, don't have sex with multiple partners, and shower daily, like most hygenic US males do, what is the difference between being circumcised or uncircumcised?
