Speculation about the Kardashian-Jenners’ body alterations isn’t limited to cosmetic procedures. In July 2017, TMZ posted a photo showing the outline of what looked like a nipple ring underneath the semi-sheer black gown that Kendall Jenner wore to the ESPYs that year. The outlet even sought out sources to confirm its suspicions about the metallic glint.
Two months later, Kendall confirmed that she was, indeed, rocking a nipple piercing. “I was going through a period in my life, having a rough time, being a rebel and was like, ‘Let’s just do it,'” she explained to Page Six. She confessed to questioning her decision when she was bracing for the body jewelry to be stabbed through such a sensitive spot, but recalled, “Honestly, it hurt, but wasn’t as bad as everyone made it seem.”

Kylie Jenner had previously gotten her nipple pierced, but on her app, Kendall shut down speculation that she was copying her younger sibling, who was partially responsible for Kendall’s apprehension over how painful the piercing would be. “I wanted to get the piercing for SO long before Kylie,” she wrote (via People). “I swear I had the idea first.” She also revealed that her fans and family members alike seemed stunned by the move, and her momager had some thoughts about it. “No, it’s not [like] Kendall! That’s why it was so surprising,” Kris Jenner said on “The Kyle & Jackie O Show” (via Harper’s Bazaar). “I thought, ‘This is not real.'”
