Kendall Jenner, Rebel Model, Got a Nipple Piercing

Kendall Jenner was going through, like, a really tough time. And to act out — maybe against the millions of dollars she’s earned and the charmed life she been blessed with — she got a nipple piercing. “It is true,” she told Page Six of her new aureola accoutrement. “I was going through a period in my life, having a rough time, being a rebel and was like ‘Let’s just do it.’”
If that fierce runway face gives off the impression that she’s emotionless, let the piercing experience convince you otherwise. “[I was] so terrified, I’m laying on the bed like ‘Why am I doing this,’” she explained of the process. “Honestly, it hurt, but wasn’t as bad as everyone made it seem and maybe because everyone hyped it up and I thought it would be really, really bad. Then it wasn’t as bad as I expected.” Kendall might have actually taken the mutinous tip from Kylie Jenner, who, at least according to Snapchat, got her nips pierced.
The nipple piercing comes after the 19-year-old rebelled and got a tattoo. But not a tattoo that says “I hate my mom” or a middle finger to the paparazzi or even a tribute to her father. Instead, it might win a Guinness World record for smallest, lamest ink of all time. In June, she got a white dot on her finger. Literally just a tiny spot, with no clear meaning or significance other than the fact that it resembles a wart so maybe she wanted to add some sort of imperfection to marketable body or scare away squeamish Justin Bieber if he ever got too close. This directly opposed her older sister Kim Kardashian West’s adage: “Don’t put a bumper sticker on a Bentley!”
Watch out for a streak of rule breaking from Kendall. Maybe a haircut will be next.
