Jenna Bush Hager and Scarlett Johansson made the brave decision to get their ears pierced live on air on Thursday January 23, commemorating their time together hosting Today with Jenna & Friends.
Scarlett, 40, has been co-hosting with Jenna this week and shared that after discovering that they both prefer piercings over tattoos they decided to get their ears pierced together.
“So we have committed to that. Today we’re doing it,” Scarlett told viewers at home, as expert piercers from So Gold Studios from Brooklyn, New York City, joined the pair in the studio. Watch the moment below:

“I have a lot of piercings,” the Marvel actress had previously shared.
“When I was a kid, I was into piercings and I had my eyebrow pierced, my septum, my everything. It was just a thing. And so I think it’s been a minute since I got a piercing, so I’m excited to do it with you.”
