North West Adds More Finger Piercings, Fires Back at Critics in New Posts

The 12-year-old’s latest look on family-run accounts has renewed scrutiny over age-appropriate self-expression.

Overview

  • On Jan. 13, North West showed what appeared to be two additional finger piercings, pairing the look with blue hair, an all-black outfit, and her Alex Moss diamond skull chain.
  • A new TikTok and Instagram post included the caption, “This is for everyone that’s mad over a finger piercing,” as she displayed black grills and bridge jewelry.
  • Her solo Instagram briefly disappeared on Jan. 5 before reportedly returning, following earlier backlash over her stylized fashion and body-modification aesthetics.
  • Kim Kardashian has defended her daughter’s experimentation and asked for “a little bit of grace,” while acknowledging some outfit decisions have been mistakes.
  • Some outlets note elements of her looks may be temporary, citing a past nose-bridge sticker as an example, leaving the permanence of certain modifications unclear.
