When Kim Kardashian’s daughter North West appeared online with fake face tattoos, blue braids, and grillz — fans were stunned. The 12-year-old shared the edgy look on TikTok, sparking a wave of concern from parents who felt she was “growing up too fast.”
“She’s only twelve,” one fan wrote sadly. “Let her be a kid.” Others called the look “too grown,” saying it didn’t suit the sweet girl they’d watched since birth.

Even Kim, 44, admitted she’s “still learning” how to guide her daughter’s bold fashion choices. “All kids are experimenting,” Kim explained. “But when my daughter does it, the whole world sees. I’m just trying to figure it out — like every mom.”
Despite the criticism, Kim praised North’s confidence. “She doesn’t care if people don’t like her hair or clothes. She’s a strong girl with her own mind.”
Maybe that’s the hardest part of parenting — letting your kids discover who they are, even when the world is watching. 💙
