Kim Kardashian is once again in the spotlight — and not for a new product drop. The reality star is catching heat after her 12-year-old daughter, North West, showed off a pair of finger dermal piercings that left the internet doing a double-take.
North West’s New Finger Piercing Shocks Fans Online
North, who is already known for her bold style choices, recently shared photos of her jeweled fingers — two silver studs on one hand and a blue stone in the center of the other. The look was edgy, sure, but it quickly sparked a storm of online criticism.
That is because dermal piercings are not your typical ear piercings — they involve inserting a small anchor under the skin, which experts say comes with a high risk of infection, rejection, and even nerve damage. And when they are on the hands? The risk skyrockets.
What Exactly Is a Dermal Piercing — and Why It Is So Risky
Most professional piercers will not even perform this type of piercing on minors. “Surface piercings are not permanent, and your body will eventually reject them,” one expert explained, adding that reputable studios usually will not touch a procedure like this for anyone under 18.
Online critics did not hold back, accusing Kim of being “too much of a best friend” and not enough of a parent. Others questioned how the piercing happened in the first place, since many believe it would be allowed at any U.S. studio, suggesting it may have been done abroad.
Kim Kardashian Says She Is Still Learning as a Mom
Of course, this is not the first time Kim Kardashian has faced backlash over North’s style. She has been criticized for letting her daughter wear a corset during a trip to Rome and for rocking bright blue hair earlier this year.
Kim, for her part, says she is still figuring out the whole parenting thing — especially as a single mom of four. “I’m doing the best I can,” she shared on the Call Me Daddy podcast. “North loves expressing herself, and I’d never take that creativity away from her.”

Still, as the internet debates the latest headline, one thing is clear: North’s fashion confidence is just as headline-making as her famous mom’s. For many commenters, Kanye West‘s daughter is just growing too fast.
However, it is not clear that her parents can slow things down.
