Let’s Wear Pink Together to Support the Fight Against Breast Cancer

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a key time to highlight the importance of prevention, early detection, and support for those affected by this disease. At PiCO Tatoo, we are committed to making a difference by supporting the Québec Breast Cancer Foundation through charitable initiatives.

We have created a special range of pink temporary tattoos to raise awareness and support this cause close to our hearts. For every tattoo sold, $2 is donated to the foundation, helping fund research, patient support, and prevention programs. By wearing our pink tattoos, you show your solidarity and become an ambassador of the cause.

Why is October Breast Cancer Awareness Month?

For decades, October has been recognized globally as Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This month is dedicated to spreading information about the disease, promoting early detection, raising funds for research, and supporting those affected.

Initiatives like those from PiCO Tatoo do more than raise funds; they play a crucial role in awareness and education. Wearing pink, whether through clothing, accessories, or our temporary tattoos, allows you to participate in a collective action that encourages early detection and support for patients and their families.
