Tyra Banks

In 2009 The Tyra Banks Show called and asked Maria to appear in a segment of the top rated syndicated talk show. In the installment which was titled Trading Up: Fashion Edition, Tyra asked Maria to explain to her audience the safety protocols involved in piercing along with information on the latest in styles and trends in jewelry. Maria then went on to pierce an audience member's ears with a pair of small rose gold and diamond rings. With Tyra looking on and holding the young woman's hand she was now able to finally experience how painless the procedure was and see just how beautiful her newly pierced ears looked.
