Kim Kardashian is catching heat from fans yet again who think she’s being a little too lenient in raising her daughter, North West. The 13-year-old has gotten a number of piercings on her hands, fingers, and most recently debuted lip piercings, along with a face tattoo. While the tattoo is likely temporary, users on social media have turned to Kim Kardashian for letting North act way older than she is. Keep reading for more information.

North West Debuts Face Tattoo

While North has long since had piercings on her fingers and hands, called dermal piercings, but most recently revealed two lip piercings and a face tattoo on Instagram. The tattoo, positioned on her right cheek, reads, "Are you ready for the Kimokawaii tour?"

The 13-year-old rapper recently announced a 14-date tour across the United States with Molly Santana. This came shortly after North was signed to Maria Carey's record label, Gamma, and was confirmed to be "recording music."

From face piercings to tattoos—temporary or not—and nationwide tours, many Kardashian fans think it's all too much for a 13-year-old child to be doing, and are turning to the SKIMS founder to focus less on her business ventures and more on raising her children.

Social Media Reactions

Across social media platforms, users weren't afraid to call the 45-year-old mother-of-three out for her parenting skills—or lack thereof. "Kim lost control of that girl a long time ago," one user wrote on TikTok.

"I'm judging her parents so hard right now!" another person commented.

"Y'all saying the tattoo is fake, but the piercings all over her body are absolutely real..." a third person wrote. "One thing isn't far from the other."

"Probably a fake tattoo, but Kim lets her do whatever she wants," pointed out another person.

"Too young!" said another. "She needs a regular childhood."

"She is genuinely a child," a final user posted. "Kim needs to lock in before North is truly messed up for life."
