He/she is probably teething.
Another Answer
At 8 weeks old, it is unlikely the kitten is teething. Kittens get their first (Deciduous) teeth at 2 to 6 weeks of age, and then the adult teeth start to come in when they are 12 weeks old at the earliest.
Either your kitten is several weeks older or younger than you realise, or it could be the kitten was taken from its mother too early (8 weeks is too early) and the kitten did not get a chance to learn what social behaviours are right or wrong, so may be testing boundaries by biting.
The simplest thing to do is to calmly withdraw your hand, or yelp loudly when the kitten bites. Never punish the kitten as it doesn't know any better. In time it will learn that biting is a behaviour that is not tolerated and will not get it any attention.

If the behavior persists or becomes aggressive, consult a veterinarian or animal behaviorist for further guidance.

How do I get my 3 month old kitten to stop biting my fingers?
Kittens bite not to hurt but to play. Kittens, especially those who have come away from their mother too young (6-8 weeks old; the ideal age is 12 weeks old) will play rough. Kittens usually bite when they're playing, trying to get your attention or warning you not to do something. For example if you scratch or rub your cats lower back he or she might bite you to tell you they do not like you doing that or just isn't in the mood for it. The best things to do is to learn your kitten's behaviour, especially how he or she acts when he or she's about to bite. Refrain from playing with the kitten with your hands and use toys instead. When your kitten bites, you can either try and distract her attention with a toy, or make your hand or arm completely limp. A kitten will quickly grow bored of unmoving "prey" and will let go. Ignoring the kitten for a few minutes afterwards will also help. Kittens love attention, so a kitten will quickly learn that biting, scratching and other behaviours will get it ignored - so will stop such behaviour. NEVER hit your cat; this will just make it fearful of you. Cats respond poorly to negative reinforcement.
