Kate from Gilded Violet Piercing joined the show. Kate will be the person piercing Poni’s nipples in just over a week. Poni ran down the resume Kate shared with him to be chose as his piercer next week. She explained why she’s a Bengals fan, and to no surprise, it’s because of Joe Burrow. Her business partner listens to the show every day and told her to put her hat in the ring. She said she pierces about 50 nipples per month. Kate doesn’t think it will be super painful, but maybe her pain tolerance is a little bit different. She suggested keeping the piercings in for 8-10 months IF they are intending on continuing to keep them pierced, but if there’s no intention of that, he can take them out almost immediately. Will Poni be able to remove them himself? Kate projected about 75% women to men getting their nipples pierced.
