Overview
- On Dec. 9, North West posted a TikTok addressing backlash, captioning the clip, "This is for everyone that's mad over a finger piercing."
- In the video, she lip-syncs to audio saying, "Why are you crying? How old are you? Just pull it together," and comments on the post were turned off.
- She was first photographed with the piercing on her middle finger in September while in Rome with her mother, Kim Kardashian.
- The jewelry is a dermal microdermal, or single-point, piercing that lies flat against the skin, a detail cited in coverage informing some safety concerns raised online.
- The latest post follows earlier TikTok back-and-forth with critics and Kim’s October remarks praising North’s maturity and confidence about public commentary.
