  • North West, daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, discussed her extensive piercings in an interview.
  • The 13-year-old expressed a desire for a bridge piercing but stated her parents forbid it.
  • Her parents reportedly allow her significant freedom in personal expression, but draw a line at certain piercings.

North West, the 13-year-old daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, is exploring her personal style through bold fashion choices and numerous piercings. In a recent interview with Dazed magazine, the teenager shared her views on body modification, stating that piercings "complete you into who you really are."

Social media posts reveal that North West sports piercings on her face, hands, and even thighs. However, she identified one specific piercing her parents have forbidden: a bridge piercing, which is located on the upper nose bridge between the eyes.

Earlier this year, North West was seen with what appeared to be a bridge piercing. It is now believed she was wearing temporary, adhesive jewelry, as no actual holes were found afterward, suggesting her parents successfully prevented her from getting the piercing.

Despite this restriction, North West's parents seem to grant her considerable latitude in her self-expression, a stark contrast to how many other parents might react to their teenage children's experimentation with appearance.
