In September, North made headlines when she was seen in Rome with Kardashian, showcasing her first dermal piercing. Dermal piercings, also called microdermal piercings, lie flat against the skin without distinct entry and exit points.

The decision to allow North to get pierced drew criticism, with many expressing concerns about her age and the potential risks associated with dermal piercings, which can be more painful and susceptible to infection than traditional piercings. Despite the backlash, North has actively defended her choice.

On November 11, a TikTok user shared a video lamenting North’s finger piercing, prompting a supportive response from both North and Kardashian, who reassured the user that “it’s okay 🫶.”

Further solidifying her stance, North posted a TikTok on December 9 with a message directed at critics: “This is for everyone that’s mad over a finger piercing,” she said, accompanied by the audio, “Why are you crying? How old are you? Just pull it together.”

North’s bold fashion decisions continue to spark conversation about body art among young individuals.
