North West Says Parents Block Bridge Piercing at 13

Summary
13-year-old North West told Dazed her parents will not let her get a bridge piercing, even though she wore a fake one for the magazine’s fall cover shoot.
A bridge piercing runs horizontally across the upper nose, and North said piercings make her feel like her “full self,” underscoring why the denied request stands out.
North’s piercing habit has drawn attention since late last summer, when she was seen in Rome with finger studs and Kim Kardashian faced online backlash over letting a 12-year-old get them.
Last October, Kardashian said criticism of North’s style is harder because many kids wear the same things, but her daughter’s choices are judged publicly because of the family’s fame.
