Fans are continuing to call out Kim Kardashian after her 12-year-old daughter posted photos of her hand without her finger piercings, which stirred up a lot of controversy online. Although some were relieved to see she had removed them, others continued to leave criticizing comments for the reality star, as they noticed that her daughter had bruising along her fingers, not long after they believed she had some kind of infection due to the piercings.

North West Posts About Taking Out Her Finger Piercings

One of the most buzzed-about members of the Kardashian-Jenner family has more recently been North West, the eldest daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, who, at 12 years old, is already generating a lot of headlines.

 

The 12-year-old has begun exploring her style and identity in the public eye, posting on social media and trying out different style trends, from bright blue hair to finger piercings, which ended up being a super hot topic on the internet. Many felt that she was too young to have the finger piercings, as they were located right under her knuckles and likely prone to infection.

 

After receiving a lot of backlash and potentially getting an infection, North posted on her Instagram story a photo of her hand without the piercings and a caption that read "RIP."

Fans Continue To Critique Kim's Parenting On Social Media

It seemed as though there were thousands of internet users who wanted the young prodigy to take out her piercings, and instead of leaving comments for her, they left a lot of judgment for her mom, the SKIMS founder, and her "bad parenting."

 

"Kim, be a parent, not a friend," posted an Instagram user.

 

"Piercings should happen at a later age," added another.

 

Once fans of the famous family saw that there was residual bruising from the removal of her piercings, the comments continued to flood in. People are still criticizing the All's Fair actress for allowing her daughter to get them in the first place.

 

"They were rejecting, and she probably doesn't even wash her hands. Her mother is an idiot for allowing her to get them," wrote an internet user.

 

"Kim is an unfit mother," commented another, as one said Kim was practicing the "worst parenting ever."
