Things suck for this poor girl, but none the less, she made a concious decision to get the nipple piercing. It is a known fact that diabetics generally have a harder time healing wounds then people who do not suffer from the disease. She should have known this, and taken proper percautions. I’m personally affiliated with the body art/modification industry, and everytime something like this happens there is a backlash. This is an unfortunate freak accident. The way the story is told though is somewhat flawed. Necrotizing Facitis, while it can be a particularly fast moving disease, isnt something she would have just random woken up with one day. Lack of proper piercing care, and i suspect personal hygeine likely contributed to this nasty infection…

(trying to decide if ITW is trying to be funny in a snarky way or not…)

But women historically and today have always harmed themselves in the name of beauty. It is a billion dollar business. Hope she serves as a good example of what NOT to do. Those dying of skin cancer from broiling themselves still have not made much of an impact.

that would be my worst nightmare waking up in the morning to find my breasts had rotted off in the middle of the night,in this case that girl has my sympathy thou one has to think that she knowing that she was diabetic and prone to infection should have not gotten the piercing in the first place.
