Overview

• New coverage notes North appeared to have a single or double dermal in her middle finger in late‑August Rome photos and in subsequent images from a Venice trip.
• Online reaction skewed critical, with commenters saying she is too young and questioning Kardashian’s parenting, while a smaller group defended the choice as a reasonable compromise.
• Healthline and piercing‑industry guidance from Lulu Ave warn that finger placements are prone to snagging, poor healing, rejection, and infection.
• Some observers pointed to a red bump near the jewelry and speculated about infection, though no medical assessment or treatment details have been reported.
• There has been no formal comment from Kardashian’s representatives as debate over North’s recent styling—including a corset look in Rome—continued alongside new posts on the pair’s TikTok.
