Apparently rare - only 12 galaxies are known to exist with two black holes in their midst, according to Dr. Julie Comerford.
Comerford reported a recent observation of a double black hole galaxy at the American Astronomical Society's annual meeting in Kissimmee, Florida. One of the BHs is described as skinny.

Black holes typically are surrounded by stars; this one appears "naked."
