Kim Kardashian Slammed After Daughter North West, 12, Debuts Dramatic New Look With Face Tattoos and Piercings — ‘Why is Her Mother Allowing This?’

In a shocking turn of events that has the internet buzzing, 12-year-old North West, daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, made headlines after revealing a bold new look featuring what appeared to be face tattoos and multiple piercings.

The young star, already a rising fashion influencer, was seen in a series of photos and videos circulating online — wearing edgy makeup, dark streetwear, and what fans are calling a “mini rockstar transformation.” However, it wasn’t her outfit that caused the uproar — it was the ink and metal on her face.

Social media erupted within hours. While some fans praised North’s individuality and creative expression, a large number of viewers condemned Kim Kardashian for “poor parenting” and “encouraging adult behavior” in her pre-teen daughter. One user wrote, “She’s 12. Where’s the line between self-expression and bad influence?” Another added, “Kim is too focused on brand image to protect her daughter’s innocence.”

Others rushed to defend Kim, noting that the tattoos may be temporary or part of a photoshoot. “North is growing up in the entertainment world — not a normal kid. This could just be art,” one supporter commented.

Still, the debate highlights the fine line between childhood and celebrity culture in the Kardashian household. North, who has appeared in music videos and fashion campaigns, continues to draw massive attention — and scrutiny — as she follows in her famous parents’ footsteps.

Neither Kim nor Kanye has publicly commented on the controversy, but one thing is certain: North West’s new look has reignited a fiery conversation about fame, freedom, and the pressures of growing up Kardashian.
