Kim Kardashian’s daughter North West has sparked concern after she debuted a shocking new look that included fake face tattoos, a nose piercing and grillz.
The 12-year-old posted a slew of videos showcasing the eyebrow-raising outfit to TikTok over the weekend.
She rocked long, blue braids and fake blue contacts, as well as black grillz over her teeth and a faux nose ring.
Most notable was the massive fake ink designs on her face, which included a star below her eye and a word in script on her cheek.
‘Fake piercings and fake tatts for life,’ the pre-teen captioned one clip, which was shared to her and her mom’s joint account.
The video showed her mouthing along to a popular sound bite with her pals, who matched her in similar braids, face tattoos and piercings.
North donned a slew of eye-popping silver necklaces a black oversized tee, baggy shorts and chunky sneakers.
Other clips showed her and her friends on a private jet and then backstage at an apparent concert.
‘Preparing for antagonist,’ she captioned another.
While the comments were turned off of North’s TikTok videos, after a fan account reposted them on Instagram, a slew of viewers were quick to share their concern.
While some people theorized it was simply a Halloween costume and all in good fun, others felt like she shouldn’t be sporting fake tattoos and piercings at 12 years old.
‘She’s 12 years old by the way,’ another wrote, along with a crying emoji.
‘This isn’t cute, shaking my head,’ someone else chimed in, adding in a separate comment, ‘She can have a style, but this “style” looks ridiculously grown and not cute for a 12 year old. Would you want your daughter walking around like this?!’
‘What in the Kanye West is happening?’ read a fourth post.
‘How about go be a kid,’ said a fifth.
‘Tattoos? I mean if you like it totally do it, its really cute but at 12?’ questioned another shocked user.
‘This is just sad,’ penned someone else, while a different person added, ‘She growing up a little to fast.’
It comes days after Kardashian, 44, admitted she made a mistake with some of her daughter’s fashion choices.
The reality star came under fire over the summer after she dressed North – who she had with her ex-husband Kanye West – in a corset during an outing in Rome.
On the Call Me Daddy podcast this week, Kardashian confessed that she’s ‘still learning’ as a mother and explained that North had wanted to experiment with her style to look like her friends.
She said: ‘It’s really hard and it’s really interesting because all the kids are wearing the same things.
‘But then my daughter tries to wear it and then I’m like, “OK we’re never wearing that again.” Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world.
‘She’s usually a girl that that dresses like a tomboy most of the time and she wanted to try something that her friends were wearing and went to the same place that they went to… and it’s just like, okay, wait, maybe you can’t wear that, you know?
‘So, as a mom, you’re kind of learning at the same time. But what I do know is my baby’s such a good girl and such a sweet girl.
‘The things that she has experienced, where she might have been outspoken or did something, she learns from that.
‘She does listen to me but in other areas I’m like “babe if you want blue hair it is what it”. It makes her so happy. I would never take that creativity away from her.’
When North first debuted her bright blue hair, fans were divided online, with some suggesting the style was too mature for a pre-teen.
And Kardashian revealed her daughter had seen the discourse and had a very sassy response.
‘She’s really mature in one sense, where she’ll be like, “Mom, I saw this and I don’t really care if someone says they don’t like my blue hair or my this or that,”‘ reflected the Skims founder.
‘She’s really confident and is like, “I probably wouldn’t be hanging out with those people. Like if you saw what they look like and what they’re wearing!”
Kardashian mused: ‘I just think anyone that’s raising kids, especially four kids by myself, I’m doing the best that I can and my babies are good babies.
‘So, I just urge everyone to not be judgmental and to have grace on single mums trying to figure it all out with a pre-teen. It’s a lot.’
In September, North upstaged her mom at her own NikeSkims event thanks to her bold choice of clothing.
With electric blue braids and, a statement t-shirt and a pendant necklace, North proved she has inherited her mother’s flair for making an entrance.
She showcased her fun, personal style as she also coordinated her look to include a pair of bug-eye style, shield sunglasses.
