In the video, North displays a\u00a0silver piercing<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0threaded through her finger, positioned between the base and middle knuckles. The jewelry appears to pass directly through tissue dense with\u00a0nerves, arteries, and veins,\u00a0<\/strong>a location rarely used for piercings due to its sensitivity and\u00a0potential complications<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Dr. Tanya Kormeili, a board-certified dermatologist based in Santa Monica, cautioned against this type of piercing, particularly in\u00a0minors<\/strong>. “As a physician, I find it my duty to advise anyone against such aggressive piercings, especially for minors,” she\u00a0said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
