North West Says Parents Block Bridge Piercing at 13

3 articles · Updated · Page Six · Aug 25

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.
