Kim Kardashian Criticized for North West’s New Dermal Piercings

Los Angeles, CA – Kim Kardashian is facing criticism after her daughter, North West, debuted a new dermal finger piercing, sparking concerns over the potential risks. On Tuesday, November 11, screenshots from North’s TikTok posts emerged, showcasing a dual dermal piercing on her right middle finger and a new blue gem piercing on her left middle finger.

The posts quickly made their way to Reddit, where users expressed outrage over North’s piercings. One critic stated, “This is what happens when you need to be your child’s best friend and not a rational adult.” Another commenter added that Kardashian “doesn’t care at all what [North] does.”

Lulu Ave, a piercing and jewelry company, warned that such piercings carry risks, saying they “may not heal well due to the constant use of the hands.” Reddit users speculated that North might experience complications like infection and might lack the ability to care for the piercings properly during healing.

Comments on the platform questioned the appropriateness of allowing a 12-year-old to sport such looks, with one user lamenting, “Why are they letting 12-year-olds look 25?” Kardashian had previously made headlines for discussing her stance against body modifications. In years past, she stated, “Honey, would you put a bumper sticker on a Bentley?”

The issue could also draw the ire of North’s father, rapper Kanye West, who believes North is “way too young to be parading around like this.” A source connected to West mentioned he might take legal action if the situation persists.
