Kim Kardashian and North West are entering the chat! In September, fans noticed a new addition to the 12-year-old's jewelry collection. This time, it wasn't a pair of flashy earrings or an extravagant necklace... it was a dermal piercing on Northy's finger! You can see it covered by a bandage (below): (c) Kim Kardashian/TikTok For those who don't know, dermal piercings "don't have a separate entry and exit point for jewelry" and therefore are more likely to be rejected by the body, according to Healthline. On top of that, any sort of hand piercing poses more risks to the healing process because of how much we use our hands.
