North West took to Instagram this week to reveal even more apparent body modifications after previously being criticized.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s 12-year-old nepo baby posted a photo of her hands, showing off a mix of pointed and round studs protruding from the backs of her hands, fingers and wrist.
The shocking reveal accompanied North’s surprise drop of a new rap song on Friday, which was fittingly titled PIERCING ON MY HAND.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Kardashian’s representative for comment.
Although North has previously rapped on some of her father’s songs, her new song’s credits on Spotify were left blank, while its YouTube credits state it was written, produced and performed by North alone.
A source told the Daily Mail that West did not have a hand in producing his daughter’s song, though she had performed it when she joined him on stage in Mexico City last week.

The song opens with blasts of soul horns and guitars before female vocals belt ‘love’ and ‘soul’ repeatedly over a bed of synthesizers.
‘Piercing on my hand, the other holdin’ bands,’ North raps as she makes her entrance on the track.
The opening chorus features the line ‘shoppin’ in Japan,’ alluding to family trips North has made to Japan with both of her parents in recent years.
The tune has only one long verse, in which North opens with: ‘Skippin’ school, yeah, I do that only the daily.’
She brags about her ‘Jaded London fits’ and ‘new Ricks,’ and adds, ‘All my songs are hits, you know I’m not lazy.’
North also recites: ‘You are so angry that I’m so mainstream / dissed her once, now she wanna replace me.
‘You can never face me, just erase me,’ she taunts in a subsequent line.
North also declares, ‘I want more piercings and tats / I love blue hair, put it in some plaques.’
While appearing as a guest on sister Khloe Kardashian’s Khloe In Wonder Land podcast in January, her mom revealed that she is homeschooled and involved in a hands-on music course.
‘At home she’ll do an eight-hour music studio session, where she’s producing and writing. I’ll add her writing out all of her lyrics as a part of her spelling tests. We do all of the things at home that she really enjoys and are challenging,’ the billionaire mogul spilled.

She posed in another photo by flashing her pierced hands and flaunting a square-shaped glossy black manicure
In her latest Instagram photo, North posed with her hands covering the bottom half of her face as she flaunted a square-shaped glossy black manicure.
Although it’s not clear if her new piercings are real or just stickers, the original piercings displayed on the backs of her fingers looked notably red and irritated.
North sported a long, straight, bright-blue wig that was parted down the middle and adorned with face-framing baby hair swoops.
The tween — who regularly wears a full face of makeup — was also dolled up in fluttery lashes.
Recent months have seen the young star and her mom, 45, come under fire for her outlandish fashion and bold self-expression.
North initially debuted dermal piercings on her fingers in November.
Fans swarmed social media comments to call out the ‘high-risk’ body art, prompting the youngster to simply reply, ‘It’s okay,’ with a heart-shaped hands emoji.
And in December, North addressed critics of her finger piercing in a TikTok video.

Last fall North caught flack for sporting fake face tattoos alongside her friends
She filmed a short video with a soundbite saying: ‘Why are you crying? How old are you? Just pull it together.’
Text over the reel noted: ‘This is for everyone that’s mad over a finger piercing.’
Similarly, in October, she replied to naysayers condemning her temporary face tattoos and blue eye contacts, which she sported with friends days before Halloween.
‘This is such a non-issue,’ she wrote on TikTok.
Social media users initially thought the comment was from Kardashian, but the SKIMS mogul clarified that the clap back was masterminded by her daughter.
During an appearance on Complex’s GOAT Talk YouTube series, she shared, ‘She was like, “I don’t get it. It’s a Halloween costume. It’s all fake.”‘
She recalled, ‘She takes my phone, and she writes back to a comment, and she goes, “This is such a non-issue.” Then online, it was like, “Kim defends North to the end on this look.” That’s a good clap back.’
The mom of four added, ‘North, if she ever posts a TikTok, it’s on my phone, so she has to ask my approval, and then I post it, whatever. The comments, all that’s on my phone.’

In addition to North, Kardashian and West also share sons Saint, 10, Psalm, six, and daughter Chicago, seven.
Elsewhere on the Khloe In Wonder Land episode, Kardashian staunchly defended her firstborn child.
Asked if the scrutiny over her parenting bothers her, she answered: ‘I’m just not a judgmental person like that, so I try not to pay attention to it.’
She elaborated, ‘But I think that no one knows, unless they’re in my shoes, what I’m dealing with and how we have to manage certain things from the outside world.
Kardashian said there’s a misconception that she is trying to be her daughter’s ‘bestie’ and ‘lets her get away with a lot.’
The multihyphenate detailed, ‘No, Northie actually has a lot of rules. The one area [of freedom] is that I do let her express herself.’
