Kim Kardashian Warned North Will Go 'Down The Drain' Like Dad Kanye's Ex After Unveiling 'Disturbing' Piercing

Kim Kardashian has come under heavy fire for allowing her daughter, North West, to get a finger piercing that doesn’t sit right with fans. 

The mother-daughter duo was recently spotted out and about while on vacation in Rome. 

Fans are urging the reality TV star to keep a tighter leash on her daughter’s fashion choices, arguing that she may soon go off the rails like her father’s ex-girlfriend, Julia Fox. 

Kim and North recently spent some much-needed family time in Rome and were spotted walking the streets of the iconic capital city in dazzling outfits. 

The media personality could be seen wearing a chic black dress as she walked out of Pierluigi at the Piazza de’ Ricci. Her 12-year-old daughter, on the other hand, wore a corset while sporting bold blue hair. 

As seen in photos taken by Page Six, the daughter of the ‘SKIMS’ founder also sported what seemed to be a dermal finger piercing on her middle finger. Her wrists were adorned with silver jewelry while she held on to a black leather bag. 

North’s dermal piercings differ from regular piercings because they don’t have separate entry and exit points for jewelry and often don’t heal well. Being located on the finger, they’re also at risk of getting infected or being bumped into, or snagged. 

In fact, a red bump was spotted close to the piercing, suggesting that it might already be infected. 

Fans who analyzed North’s piercing on Reddit did not spare Kim as they criticized her parenting choices. 

One worried fan wrote that Kim has never had “much control” over North because the 12-year-old seems to be the one calling the shots. The fan added that the reality star was letting her daughter “dress and act” like adults at such a young age. 

Another fan echoed the same thoughts, likening North to Fox. The fan wrote:

“This reminds me of North’s dad’s ex, Julia Fox, in the worst way. Have you read ‘Down The Drain?’ She talks about dressing up and running around without adults, convincing people that she wasn’t years away from being 18, getting tattoos and piercings (even NSFW ones!) before she was in High School, trying every drug…” 

One user commented, “She’s [going to] be covered in tattoos by 13. It’s crazy to feel bad for a [12] year old who has everything material-wise, but here we are…”

Another fan lamented that North would likely have a BBL by the time she’s 15, and another wrote that her piercing was “f-cking disturbing.” 

The concerned fan argued that the piercer who agreed to work on a 12-year-old should have their license revoked.

Kim and North also appeared in a TikTok video wearing the same outfits they wore while walking the streets of Rome, and they were not spared any criticism either. 

The ‘SKKN’ founder received backlash for North’s outfit choice of a corset and mini skirt as fans deemed it inappropriate. Fans also criticized Kim for allowing her daughter to sing along to the song in the clip, tagging the song’s lyrics as “disrespectful” and “racially insensitive.” 

“That outfit is way too adult for her age,” one fan wrote, as reported by The Blast. “That's wild... I couldn't imagine letting my child dress this way AND post it for the internet, like who is this really for??!” another fan added. 

This wouldn’t be the first time Kim has faced harsh judgment for her parenting choices. 

In 2014, Kim walked out of a building in Paris without North. When she reached her vehicle, she turned back, went into the building, and re-emerged with her daughter, whom she seemingly forgot. 

This sparked a decade-old rumor that Kim was negligent and had forgotten North in the building. However, she recently revisited the claims, arguing that she only did it because she wanted to show off her outfit properly. 

“I wanted to show the look off before holding her bc her outfit didn't match mine! I didn't forget her!!!” Kim wrote on social media, as confirmed by The Blast.

Despite constantly facing backlash from the public for how she chooses to raise North, Kim undoubtedly holds a lot of love for her daughter. 

On North’s 12th birthday, the 44-year-old mother of four posted a heartwarming picture carousel on Instagram looking back on cherished memories she shared with her daughter over the years. 

She wrote that being the young girl’s mother is the “most special calling” and gushed over her growth over the years.
