00:00Kim Kardashian is pushing her 12-year-old daughter into the adult world way too soon.
00:05Kim Kardashian is making headlines again, and honestly, are we even surprised?
00:10Social media is buzzing and people are picking sides.
00:13This time, it's about her oldest daughter, Northwest, who's 12, showing off a brand new hand piercing.
00:19It's the kind of drama only the Kardashians can deliver.
00:21A hand piercing at just 12 years old? I think it's a bit much.
00:25Not only this piercing, but people are pointing out her content, the way she dresses, and other ways Kim is pushing her into adulthood at just 12.
00:32Fans noticed North, Kim's daughter, had a brand new hand piercing.
00:36Kim and North were on vacation in Rome.
00:38Kim's followers are always watching closely, so it didn't take long for sharp-eyed social media users to spot a small bandage on North's middle finger.
00:46Even though Kim didn't post close-ups on her and North's TikTok account, the paparazzi photos did the work.
00:52Some fans were excited about North's new look. Others were totally shocked.
00:56And they weren't quiet about it either. The opinions started flying like confetti.
01:00Northwest got a new piercing. The piercing in question is called a dermal piercing.
01:05It's a bit different from the usual ear piercings most kids get.
01:08Dermal piercings are done on flat skin and don't have two holes for an entry and exit point.
01:12That makes them trickier and more likely to get rejected or infected by the body, especially on a finger, which is always moving and getting bumped or dirty.
01:20Piercing pros warn that finger piercings don't heal well for those exact reasons.
01:24They can catch on things, get irritated, or even get infected.
01:28Of course, the comments online about this were absolutely brutal.
01:32Kim Kardashian is stirring up the internet again.
01:34She let North pierce her hand and there are a ton of comments about it online.
01:38Who lets their 12-year-old have piercings? And who pierces a 12-year-old?
01:42One person posted.
01:43Others worried about the risks, saying it looked painful, was already getting irritated and seemed like a bad idea.
01:49Surface piercings are notoriously hard to heal.
01:52Imagine getting one on one of the dirtiest and most used parts of your body, another viewer commented.
01:58Some people felt sad for North, saying she's too young and shouldn't have to deal with such grown-up beauty choices.
02:03Northwest got a new hand piercing.
02:05Some fans cheered North on, praising her confidence and sense of style.
02:09For them, North is just expressing herself like so many kids do today.
02:14Gen Alpha, Gen Z, older teens, and even adults have begun experimenting with body piercings and bold looks.
02:21North, with her famous mom backing her up, is not just following the crowd.
02:25She's setting trends.
02:27TikTok and Instagram quickly lit up with people copying her style, making would-you-try-this, polls, and looking for fashion inspo.
02:35Whether you love it or hate it, it's clear North can influence the fashion world, even at such a young age.
02:40Kim Kardashian has said that her daughter North has a strong personality.
02:44She said that North is a tough critic, always honest about her mom's outfits, and pushing for bolder looks.
02:50The Kardashian crew is used to getting attention for their choices, but Kim says North's positive energy helps her embrace her own style.
02:57She wants her daughter to be true to herself and encourages North to go for what she wants, including her piercing.
03:03It seems Kim views this as self-expression, even if she knows it might upset some people.
03:08It might not be a bad thing at all.
03:09North West's outfit choices didn't escape controversy from fans.
03:13On their Rome vacation, North wore a black corset, a skirt, and platform boots, plus electric blue hair and long pigtails.
03:21This look also got people talking about what is and isn't appropriate for kids.
03:25Some fans loved the confidence.
03:27Others worried that growing up in the spotlight and wearing grown-up clothes is too much for someone her age.
03:32They argued that Kim should try to preserve North's childhood a bit longer, instead of letting her dress up like an adult.
03:38Maybe people should just let parents raise their kids the way they want to.
