Kim Kardashian is catching a lot of heat for her parenting choices involving her 12-year-old daughter North West these days, and now, there’s another moment of backlash she can add to the list. During the same outing that prompted critics to question Kim over North’s recent wardrobe choices, some discovered a new piercing on North’s finger that is raising a lot of eyebrows.
North is now sporting a new dermal piercing.
In the same photos of North wearing a corset while out with Kim in Italy that sparked backlash last week, fans have discovered that her middle finger has a dermal piercing (also known as a “single-point piercing,” as Page Six pointed out).
This appears to be a relatively new modification to North’s look, though it is so subtle that it might have been easy to overlook and assume it was a ring if she’s worn it out and about before this.
Kim is being raked over the coals.
On a subreddit dedicated to the Kardashian family, Kim is receiving a lot of flak for North’s new permanent bling.
“This is just sad,” one person wrote. “And also gives so much credit to all of those articles of people saying Kim has no control over her kids.”
Another added, “I wonder if this little girl has ever been told no or if she has always done whatever she wants.”
Some people are concerned about infections.
Critics also pointed out the redness that appears to be around North’s piercing, raising questions about a possible infection.
“Surface piercings are notoriously hard to heal. I can’t imagine that getting one on one of the dirtiest and most used parts of the body is a great idea,” one person wrote.
So far Kim isn’t responding to the backlash.
If Kim is aware of what her critics are saying, she isn’t letting on. Then again, this is the approach she normally takes when it comes to backlash around her kids. Instead, she’s been busy showing off her own photos from her trip to Italy.
Maybe we’ll find out more about how this piercing came to be on The Kardashians next season?
