Tattoos, Symbol of Strength?

My friend just found out that she has to have hysterectomy (she's 26 and childless). We've known that she has Cancer for about week but she wasn't sure of the severity until today (meeting with the gynecological oncologist). Anyways, we have been planning on getting tattoos together for awhile and I've made us an appointment for this Saturday. This isn't my first tat but it will be my most meaningful and I want to pick something good for the 3 of us (our other best friend will be coming too). I am drawn towards picking a symbol of strength but don't want a bull or anything like that. Can anyone suggest a good symbol of strength that 3 women in their twenties could get as a tattoo? Please be serious because this is SUPER important to us. We also don't want any sort of chinese symbols.

Update:

Thank you tattoo chick, after you posted I was looking at different ones and found the words live, laugh love. I've always loved the saying and I think since there are 3 of us we are going to get that, my friend with the cancer obviosuly getting live. We think that we are going to get it with the background looking continuos so that when we put it together (on our feet) it will look like one tattoo. Thank you so much for your answer though. I found about the same things you did.

    You can look into the celtic knots, they have one for strength. They come in different designs but here's an example of one.

    There really isn't a lot of actual strength symbols besides the bull & chinese symbol for strength which personally i'm not a fan of chinese symbol tattoos and I know you said that you didn't want that. You can also look into sisterhood symbols and friendship symbols.

    I know you'll find something great, good luck to you and your friend.

    *Edit*

    That sounds great, I really love that idea.
