North West, 12, showcases five face piercings as mum Kim says 'It makes her happy'
North West, the 12-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, has sparked concern with her growing fascination with piercings. Recent images reveal a string of five studs symmetrically placed across her cheeks, lip, and nose bridge, adding a unique touch to her fashion sense. This isn't her first foray into body modifications; she's also been spotted with studs on her hands and wrists, causing a stir on social media.
The young musician, following in her father's controversial footsteps, has faced criticism from fans who deem her parents' choices irresponsible. However, the truth behind these piercings is more nuanced. Some social media users suspect that the studs might be temporary stickers, designed to mimic real piercings. One fan commented, "She has two piercings & the rest are glued on..." This sparked a debate, with many expressing their opinions on the matter.
North has responded to the criticism, showcasing her resilience on TikTok. She shared a video, seemingly addressing her critics, with a background sound asking, "Why are you crying? How old are you? Just pull it together." She captioned it, "This is for everyone that's mad over a finger piercing." Kim Kardashian, in defense of her parenting, stated, "It makes her so happy. I would never take away her creative style."
Beyond piercings, North has made headlines for her bold fashion choices. She ditched her glossy black hair for bright blue locks, and recently, she underwent a dental transformation with a custom-made set of black grillz by Johnny Dang and Sukii Baby. These changes seem to be part of her vision for a potential fashion and jewellery label.
Kim Kardashian, a trainee lawyer and businesswoman, has filed three trademark applications for the brand name NOR11, a clever combination of North's initials and her age when she conceived the idea. The applications cover a wide range of products, including clothing, accessories, watches, jewellery, and bags. The brand, owned by KimYe's Kid Inc., a California corporation, reflects North's unique style and her desire to make a mark in the fashion industry.
As North continues to evolve her personal style, the fashion world eagerly awaits her next move, curious to see how she will further express her individuality through her choices.
