North West has seemingly removed a controversial piercing after facing backlash online, following her recent defiance towards critics. The 12-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West sparked discussions by getting her middle finger pierced.
On December 30, North shared images on her new Instagram account, showcasing herself with friends in the snow. While her vibrant blue hair was visible under a Balenciaga puffer jacket, her finger piercing was notably absent from view.
Earlier this year during a trip to Italy with her mother, North sported a dermal piercing on her right hand’s middle finger, featuring two silver balls below her knuckle. Observers who noticed the piercing criticized Kim for allowing her daughter to have such a piercing.
In response to the criticism, North addressed the issue on TikTok, shared with her mother. She posted a brief video with a background sound questioning the critics’ reactions and advised them to compose themselves. She also uploaded now-deleted photos showing the process of getting the piercing, proving its authenticity.
Throughout the year, Kim faced additional scrutiny for North’s attire, with many deeming it inappropriate for a 12-year-old. Kim defended her daughter’s fashion choices, emphasizing her support for North’s creative expression and individuality.
