Difference the spot.

In 'Pulp Fiction', Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames) gives Butch Coolidge (Bruce Willis) a pep talk of sorts: "Night of the fight, you might feel a slight sting. That's pride fuckin' with you. Fuck pride!" Non-profit organisation Fuck Cancer is cut from the same cloth, thought it's never told hired goons to throw someone over a balcony. As far as we know.

As part of its tireless efforts to show cancer who's in charge, the brand presents a compelling film about radiotherapy skin marks—small dots used to line up radiation beams. These are often permanent, reminding cancer survivors of what they went through, as if they could ever forget. The protagonist is one such survivor, branded for life by cancer… until now, that is.

That spot becomes the starting point for a beautiful tattoo that makes her skin a canvas once more—a place full of possibility after so much trauma. The advertised charity encourages others to reach out and get free tattoos that turn marks into masterpieces. In Fuck Cancer's view, a tattoo artist can be also be a therapist.
