Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s 12-year-old daughter North West recently sparked concern on social media as she debuted what appeared to be new face piercings and bleached eyebrows via Daily Mail.
The SKIMS founder’s eldest child took to her and her mom’s joint TikTok last week to post a series of videos with her friends. However, many viewers were quick to notice that she was sporting some new face bling in them.
North, whom Kardashian shares with ex Kanye West, had what seemed to be two small diamond studs in her cheek next to her ear, something known as a surface tragus piercing.
The pre-teen also displayed some bleached blonde eyebrows during a night out with her mom over the weekend.
Fans quickly took to X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, Instagram and Reddit to discuss North’s latest new look, with many voicing their concern for the young star.
‘Face piercing at 12 is kinda wild,’ one user wrote.
‘I don’t care what anyone on here has to say, 12 years old IS too young for all this and I won’t be gaslighted into thinking otherwise,’ commented another.
‘I can totally get behind a 12-year-old with a double or triple ear piercing, but the ones on the face are crazy to me,’ shared someone else.
‘So painful and prone to infection. Wouldn’t want a kid to deal with that.’
‘This shouldn’t be allowed… she’s only 12,’ read a fourth post, while a fifth said, ‘The fact that the piercer is comfortable doing all this dermals on a 12 years old is concerning.
‘And the fact that the parent is allowing this is even more concerning. This are NOT easy piercings at all. Difficult to heal, easy to reject. What the f**k?’
‘I always try and not comment when it comes to people adultifying North and having issues with her style choices, but, I had a face dermal done on my cheek bone ten years ago when I was 17 and it rejected so my body was pushing out the anchor,’ revealed a different user.
‘I had to have it removed so now have a small scar. It’s not something I would recommend for a 12-year-old to be honest, especially on the face, but it’s not my kid.’
‘Why do y’all keep acting like you were dressed like North West at 12?’ asked another.
‘Stop acting like you don’t know why people are shocked at a 12-year-old having bleached brows, wearing lace fronts and getting piercings in the fingers.’
