"Life lately" for the SKIMS founder includes a new body piercing

Kim Kardashian is taking it back to the 2000s!

On Monday, Nov. 18, the SKIMS founder shared that she's been rocking a belly button ring. Kardashian, 43, posted an Instagram carousel, and in her fifth photo, she added a glimpse of her new body piercing. 

Her latest piece of body jewelry includes a diamond stud. In her reveal photo, she wore gray sweatpants and lifted her light pink top to show off the new jewelry.

She simply captioned the post, "Life lately."

Several of Kardashian's followers commented on the piercing. "Not the belly piercing 😂 Kimmy taking it back to 2005," wrote one user.

"the belly piercing 😭😭😭. ok baddie 🔥," another wrote.

Although this is Kardashian's latest fashion choice, the TV personality previously rocked the piercing. In 2006, she was spotted with Paris Hilton in Sydney, Australia, on New Year's Eve, where she sported a silver one-piece swimsuit with a large cutout showing off her piercing and stomach. 

Over a decade later, in 2017, she told Entertainment Tonight that she had six piercings total: one in her right ear, four on her left ear and, of course, her belly button ring.

The SKKN founder wasn't the only Kardashian-Jenner to recently show off her piercings. On Tuesday, Kylie Jenner posted an Instagram video of sister Khloé Kardashiangetting her second ear-piercing.

Jenner, 27, documented Khloé, 40, as she questioned whether she wanted to get a second piercing. But once the piercer went to put the clamp on her ear, she backed away, saying, "I don't know if I can do this."

"Don't even think about it," Kylie responded as she reached for her sister's hands. "Get out of your head," she said, adding, "You got this."

Khloé did muster the courage and, immediately after the piercing was over, remarked that the experience "was fine."

"Made @khloekardashian get a second piercing 😂 i'm so proud of her !!!!! she has always been terrified of piercings lol so this was big," Jenner wrote in her Tuesday, Nov. 19 Instagram caption.

Khloé replied in the comment section: "Honestly, if it wasn't for all you guys supporting me and a lot of peer pressure than I wouldn't have done it, but I think this is peer pressure in the best way."
