Kate Hopkins
I started my nursing career back in 2013 and my background is almost entirely NICU with a sprinkling of pediatrics. After spending countless hours with babies and their parents, it's no surprise that I've had the privlege to be part some pretty spectacular milestones. Over the years, I naturally cut back my hours as a bedside nurse with the addition of each child I had.
​
My second child, Pippa, is my only girl. As she got a little bigger, I began thinking of when I would choose to pierce her ears and where I would do it. I was completely underwhelmed by the choices that were out there and only wanted the best for her. I wanted this milestone be comfortable, special, and above all else- clean and safe. So what does this mother do when the current options are deemed inadequate? Well, I went ahead and created the option I wanted for my baby. She is the inspiration behind Pippa and Penny.

Caitlin Glinski
Caitlin RN, BSN started her nursing career back in 2014. She has spent the last 8+ years working in the NICU at Methodist Women’s Hospital, where I met her. I was elated to find out that she was interested in what I was doing and wanted to know if she could help. Having spent several years working along side her, I automatically knew she would be perfect. Outside of work, she’s a wife and amazing mama to two sweet girls- Mila and Remi. She is one of the kindest, most caring, and most meticulous people I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

Making kids feel safe, heathy, and loved is her specialty. She moved to Omaha in the summer of 2020 and a different nursing based piercing pop up fell in her lap. She has pierced countless ears in the Omaha area. In the Spring of 2022 she decided to become part of the Pippa & Penny team! Her favorite part about piercing ears is the smile of the child in the mirror getting to see their new bling that they were so brave to achieve!
