Cassie has had her nipples pierced to show the world she is fighting against cancer.

Cassie's has a family history of breast cancer and she went to get tested.

After the check up she then went out and had her nipples pierced as a sign of defiance.

She says: "I got my piercings before I got my results, like positive energy... I think it's sexy. I'm proud of them."

Congrats! Her test revealed she does not have the cancer gene.

She explained: "I'm sitting there with my parents, my mom's sobbing after she finds out that I don't have the gene, and I'm like, `Guess what, mom and dad, I got my nipples pierced.'

"It was nerve-racking because I was like, `My mom's going to kill me if I have this gene and I got these things.'"
