North West Debuts Finger Piercings
On Kim and North's shared TikTok account, @kimandnorth, North posted photos of herself getting a piercing put into her middle finger. One photo showed the aftermath: her pierced finger with two silver studs, and another actually showed the long needle used to pierce the finger.
The piercing, called a dermal piercing, often gets infected, and you have to be 18 years old to get one, unless you have a parent's permission. So it seems Kim Kardashian had no issue letting North get the piercing, despite it typically being reserved for adults. North's photos have circulated online, prompting fans to call Kim out for her parenting skills, or lack thereof.
Social Media Reactions
In one Reddit thread in particular, critics called on their own experiences with piercings to shed light on why North really is too young for this sort of thing. "I'm not a parent, but I just couldn't imagine giving my 12-year-old permission to have dermal and surface piercings like this," one person wrote. "Especially considering the complications that come with them. And trust me, I've had every single piercing under the sun."
"This is what happens when you need to be your child's best friend and not a rational adult," one person pointed out.
"There is no way [North] is going to be able to properly care for them during the healing stage because she's so young and probably lacks the responsibility and discipline to do so," another said.
"I'm not suprised Kim is clearly an absentee parent," another said.
"It just makes me wonder if Kim is even around when these things are being done," a final user posted.
