What does the throat cancer ribbon and the melanoma ribbon look like?

Im getting a tattoo in honor of my dad who had throat cancer and my mom who had melanoma. One ribbon is going to be on one shoulder and the other ribbon on the other shoulder. The ribbons will be ripped in the middle with a sparrow flying through the middle. They both survived and this is for them! So if anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated!!!

According to the "for the cure" site melanoma is a black ribbon. It doesn't list throat cancer. But it also doesn't list lung cancer, so it doesn't appear complete.

The Trinity London site and the Pin People site also have black for melanoma, and "pearl" (opalescent?) for lung cancer.

Purple is the color for cancer survivors, but would be more appropriate for your parents than for you.

That tattoo is really a lovely idea... I'm sure you'll come up with whatever is just right for you, and no matter what it is, your parents should feel honored by the fact that you did it.

Melanoma is not orange, it is BLACK. Sorry I am not sure what color throat cancer is. Report It

Throat cancer isnt very specific as there are many cancers that can affect the "throat" area. Are you talking about esophageal cancer?

Esophageal cancer has a Periwinkle ribbon

and Melanoma has an Orange ribbon.
Hope this helps!
