12-year-old North West has seemingly debuted a new facial piercing on the bridge of her nose.
North, the eldest child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, seems to be taking an interest in fashion like her parents and has shown off some very outlandish looks of late – which not everybody's been a fan of.
A couple of weeks ago, North showed off some diamond, shark-like grills on social media which some speculated could have cost as much as $50,000.
Then in November, the young girl appeared online with face tattoos, which were quite clearly fake as you have to be at least 18 years of age to have a tattoo in California.

What didn't appear to be fake, however, was North's piercing on her finger. A lot of people expressed concerns about the dermal piercing but whoever runs the Kim and North TikTok page commented that 'it's okay'.
Now, North appears to have debuted a facial piercing on the bridge of her nose. She also showed off black teeth (presumably another set of grills) and blue bangs to go with her bright hair.
Some people commented 'Kanye was right' on the clip in regards to the rapper's previous comments about the 12-year-old having social media.
Per a source who spoke to Radar Online in early December, Kanye's wife Bianca Censori is reportedly trying to mediate the situation between the 'MONSTER' hitmaker and his eldest daughter.
"Bianca's been following the situation closely because she's fond of North and wants to be there for her," the insider alleged. "She's reassuring Kanye there's nothing to worry about, the face tattoos are only fakes, and this is a simple case of a young kid expressing herself."
Supposedly, Kanye fears that North is 'acting up'.
While North's finger tattoo was very much real, it's likely that the bridge one is fake. Stick-on dermal piercings are widely available online.
There's been so speculation that North has now removed the finger piercing in light of the backlash.
One doctor who spoke to UNILAD discussed the body modification and branded it as 'risky'.
Dr Donald Grant, GP and Senior Clinical Advisor at The Independent Pharmacy, told us: "Dermal piercings, particularly those placed on the finger, carry risks that can easily be underestimated or attributed to more familiar concerns."
He explained that people can miss the ‘early signs of irritation or rejection’ and believe it is ‘nothing more than dry skin, a healing delay, or a minor knock to the area'.
"These symptoms may also be mistaken for an allergic reaction to jewellery, simple overuse of the hands, or mild contact dermatitis," Dr Grant further warned.
