North West Shares New Photo Featuring Multiple Hand Piercings
North first sparked public conversation about her piercings in November, when she debuted an apparent dermal piercing on her middle finger. In her latest post, North appears to have expanded her collection.
The photo showed her posing with her hands raised in front of her face, highlighting multiple silver piercings on her fingers, the backs of her hands, and her wrist. She also appeared with her signature blue hair — a look she has frequently worn in recent months.
While North did not include a caption with the image, the post quickly gained attention after fans reshared it across platforms.
Social Media Reacts
Social media users responded with a wide range of opinions. Some praised North’s appearance and confidence. Others expressed concern about her age and whether the apparent hand piercings are appropriate for a 12-year-old.

North Previously Responded To Criticism Over Piercings
North has not publicly addressed the reaction to her most recent post. However, she previously responded to criticism after debuting her first hand piercing in November. At the time, North posted a video using audio from Chrisean Rock that said, “Why are you crying? How old are you? Just pull it together!” She added the caption, “This is for everyone that’s mad over a finger piercing.”
Since then, North has continued to share her personal style on social media, often drawing public attention and discussion. Most recently, in January, Kim appeared on ‘Khloé in Wonderland’ and seemed to assert that North’s hand piercings were “fake.” At this time, it remains unclear whether all of them are “fake” or if some of them are only prosthetics.
As for the sentiments on North’s latest photo, neither North nor her parents has publicly reacted.
