North West shocks fans with fake face tattoos and nose ring: a Gen A rebellion?

Kim Kardashian's daughter, North West, has once again gone viral, but this time, fans are more concerned than impressed. 

In a series of now-viral TikTok videos, West unveiled her dramatic transformation while posing and dancing with friends on a joint TikTok account she shares with her mother. 

West sported long blue braids, bright blue contact lenses, a bunch of silver chains and a handful of henna.

But what had netizens' jaws drop were West's fake face tattoos, which included a star under her eye and a word written in script on her cheek, along with black grillz covering her teeth and a faux nose ring.

"Fake piercings and fake tatts for life", West captioned one video while lip-syncing to a popular TikTok sound with her friends. 

In another video, fans got a glimpse of the group travelling on a private jet to enjoy a concert together in their coordinated looks.

This attention-grabbing makeover comes just days after Kardashian spoke openly about her parenting challenges on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast.

She admitted that finding a balance between West's creativity and her young age has been quite a learning experience.

Kardashian discussed some of North's recent fashion choices, including the corset West wore during a summer trip to Rome that drew heavy criticism from the public.

"She’s usually a tomboy most of the time. She wanted to try something her friends were wearing, and it’s just like, okay, wait, maybe you can’t wear that. So as a mom, you’re kind of learning at the same time." 

Kardashian asked for "grace" from the public. 

Ever since the TikTok clips went viral, West's rapper dad Ye has also been making the rounds for speaking up against his daughter's social media antics.

In the video, he says: "Hi y'all, I just got off the phone with Kim. I told her to stop antagonising me with this TikTok thing. I am her father. I know you'll don't respect fathers and the idea of family. I said that I'm not allowing my daughter to be used by TikTok, Disney. I have a say-so.

"And when people say, 'Are you going to use this in court' ... I didn't even have a say-so when they went to Sierra Canyon (School). There is no such thing as 50/50 custody in society today; it always leans towards the mom."

He continued: "I'm happy that you guys got to see just a small piece of what I dealt with."
