North West, 12, Debuts New Finger Piercings After Criticism Over Past Body Modifications

North West's piercing collection just keeps on growing.

Months after garnering online buzz over her finger piercing in September, the 12-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West debuted a pair of new body modifications on her social media.

In a photo shared to her Instagram Stories on Jan. 13, the tween showed off what appeared to be two more finger piercings joining the other one she has on her middle finger.

North paired her new bling with a blue wig and an all-black outfit, including a Balenciaga T-shirt , pleated skirt and her giant Alex Moss New York diamond skull chain that she received from her mom on Christmas. She also debuted her new jewelry on TikTok, filming a video that showed off her studs and metallic manicure.

Since she first stepped out with the body modification in 2025, North, alongside Kardashian, have been vocal in defending the fashion choice.

On Nov. 11, a TikTok user, @mazzy_williams, posted a video with overlay text reading, “north west getting a finger piercing is breaking my heart just me?” to which North and Kardashian responded. “it’s okay 🫶” via their joint account.

North then doubled down on her accessory alone, posting a TikTok on Dec. 9 with a loud and clear message.

"This is for everyone that's mad over a finger piercing," she wrote while also mouthing to an audio that said, "Why are you crying? How old are you? Just pull it together."

Kardashian, 45, has also voiced her opinion. In an October episode of Call Her Daddy, the Alls Fair actress admitted that sometimes she does make mistakes, especially when allowing North to wear certain outfits (some of which have been questioned as age-appropriate), but all she asks for is a "little bit of grace."

"I'm like, okay, we're never wearing that again. Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world," she said, adding, "as a mom, you're kind of like learning at the same time."

She also gave insight on how her eldest handles the outside noise. "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.'"
