On Saturday, May 23, the 12-year-old daughter ofKim KardashianandKanye Westshared a few photos on herInstagram Storieshighlighting her signature bright blue hair and a collection of piercings on her hands and fingers.
In a series of selfies wearing an all-gray outfit with a bulky chain necklace — which featured a skull and crossbones — and a pair of furry boots, North showed off at least five piercings on her hand and fingers in addition to another on her wrist. It's unclear whether all of the piercings are real.
When North wasfirst spotted with a dermal piercingon her hand in September 2025, fans were quick to call out Kardashian, 45, for allowing her preteen daughter to undergo body modifications.
Also known as microdermal piercings or single-point piercings, dermal piercings lie flat against the skin and don't have a separate entry and exit point, perByrdie.
"She's 12. Wtf is Kim doing?!" one user wrote onReddit, while another added, "Who the f--- lets their 12 year old have piercings? And who the f--- pierces a 12 year old? My kid didn't even have her ears pierced at 12.”
The following month, the SKIMS co-founder shared on an episode ofCall Her Daddythat she doesoccasionally regretallowing North to wear certain outfits.
"I'm like, okay, we're never wearing that again,” she said in October. “Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world.”

“As a mom, you're kind of like learning at the same time,” she continued. "She's really mature in one sense where she'll be like, 'Mom, I saw this, and I don't really care that they don't like... my blue hair or this or that.' She's really confident and is like, 'I probably wouldn't be hanging out with those people.' "
In addition to debuting abridge piercingandmore finger piercingsthroughout the following months, Northresponded to the criticismover her dermal piercing by lip-synching to a TikTok audio that said, "Why are you crying? How old are you? Just pull it together."
"This is for everyone that's mad over a finger piercing," she added over the clip in December.
North alsorapped about her love for “piercings and tats”in a January collaboration with her rapper dad, 48, titled “Piercing on My Hand (Ye Version).”
"Piercing on my hand, the other holding bands," North rapped in the song. "No friends, just filter, you wouldn't understand."
"All my friends are hits, you know I'm not lazy/You're so angry that I'm so mainstream," she continued later in the track. "I'm not sure I'm crazy/I want more piercings and tats/I love blue hair put it in some plaits/Put the music to the max/I want like a hundred thousand racks."
