Kim Kardashian is facing criticism after allowing her 12-year-old daughter, North West, to get a hand piercing that many people see as dangerous.

Fans noticed the piercing on North’s middle finger while she and Kim were on vacation in Rome.

The piercing is a dermal type, which is different from regular piercings because it doesn’t have a separate entry and exit point for jewelry. This can make it harder to heal and more prone to problems.

Experts also warn that finger piercings may not heal well because hands are used constantly, and the jewelry can get bumped or caught. Even dermal piercings can reject over time.

Some people online noticed a red bump near North’s piercing and suggested it could be infected. Many users also questioned Kim’s decision to let a child so young get a piercing, saying it looked painful and worrying about the risks. Some pointed out that most kids don’t even have their ears pierced at 12.

The post sparked a lot of reactions, with people expressing concern for North’s safety and criticizing Kim’s parenting choices.
