Kim Kardashian has revealed the truth behind her response to her daughtermNorth West’s ‘face tattoos’.
A couple of weeks ago, 12-year-old North shared several clips on mom Kim’s TikTok account, showing off fake face tattoos, blue contact lenses and a faux septum-style piercing.
In the clips, North could be seen with some of her friends as they showed off their different looks – including dramatic lashes, teeth grillz and sparkly nails – in the run up to Halloween.But after the videos were shared, mom Kim received backlash online, with many directing criticism at the mom-of-four over North’s new look.

Meanwhile, another added: “How about go be a kid.”

Just a few weeks ago, fans criticised Kim for letting North wear a dermal piercing during a trip to Rome.
Speaking on the Call Her Daddy podcast earlier this month, Kim opened up about parenting a preteen in the public eye.
“I’m like, okay, we’re never wearing that again. Unfortunately, we made that mistake in front of the whole world,” she said. “As a mom, you’re kind of like learning at the same time.”
