At Leap Then Look Tattoo & Piercing, we understand that a child’s first piercing is a big moment—not just for them, but for parents too. Whether it’s a set of earrings for your little one or a milestone piercing for a teen, we’re proud to provide a safe, sterile, and welcoming environment for families in Clarksville.
Here’s everything you need to know before bringing your child in for a piercing.
What Age Do We Pierce?
We currently pierce children ages 3 and up. At this age, most kids are old enough to understand what’s happening and can sit still during the procedure.
Why Our Studio Is Safer
Unlike mall kiosks that use piercing guns, we use single-use, hollow needles in a professional tattoo and piercing studio. This method is cleaner, more precise, and far less traumatic for the tissue—leading to quicker healing and less discomfort.
What Parents Need to Bring
To pierce a child under 18, we need:
A parent or legal guardian present
The child’s birth certificate (to prove guardianship)
The parent/guardian’s valid photo ID

How We Keep Kids Comfortable
We know that for little ones, the idea of a piercing can be scary. Our piercers take extra time to explain the process in kid-friendly terms, answer questions, and create a calm environment. Many kids leave smiling—and proud of their new jewelry.
Aftercare Matters
We’ll provide clear aftercare instructions to help the piercing heal properly. Parents can expect:
Cleaning guidelines with sterile solution
What to watch for as it heals
Tips for helping your child avoid touching or tugging on their new jewelry
✨ Ready to schedule your child’s piercing? Walk-ins are always welcome, but for younger children we recommend calling ahead so we can make sure everything is set up for a smooth, stress-free experience.
At Leap Then Look Tattoo & Piercing, your child’s safety and comfort come first—that’s why so many Clarksville parents trust us with this special milestone.
