Kim Kardashian Calls North West’s Fake Tattoos and Piercings a ‘Non-Issue’ After TikTok Backlash

She frames the look as supervised self-expression grounded in special-effects makeup training.

Overview

  • Videos on the joint Kim-and-North TikTok showed the 12-year-old with faux face tattoos, a nose piercing and grills alongside friends last weekend.
  • After critical comments questioned age-appropriateness, the account replied in the comments, "This is such a non-issue 😭."
  • Kardashian has recently described North as confident and "really mature" when trying different looks, referencing those views on the Oct. 15 Call Her Daddy podcast.
  • She acknowledged parenting missteps and asked for "a little bit of grace," noting North has been taking special-effects makeup classes.
  • The clips drew millions of views, and past scrutiny resurfaced, including Kanye West’s prior objections to North’s TikTok use and earlier criticism over a dermal piercing worn in Rome.
