Willow Smith had many a tongue wagging today, when the above snap of she, and what appears to be a friend, emerged online.

For, if one takes a close look inside the 11 year old’s mouth, you’d see what looks like a tongue piercing, forcing many to question its authenticity- considering the star’s age.

Here’s hoping Willow has her father’s sense of humor and is ‘pulling the world’s leg so to speak.

If not, here’s hoping her quest for ‘self expression’ doesn’t tar what could be a very fruitful career in music, in the way it has to so many before her.

Your thoughts?
