Only shops with at least 25 reviews qualify; ties go to the shop with more reviews. Ordering is computed at build time from two facts per shop — its Google rating and its Google review count. One listing per street address, and nobody paid for a position. ## Ranked shops | # | Shop | City | Rating | Reviews | Reviewers mention | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [Village Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/bethpage/village-tattoo.md) | Bethpage | 5.0 | 237 | American Traditional, Black & Grey, Realism / Portrait | | 2 | [VICTORY TATTOO NYC](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/new-york/victory-tattoo-nyc.md) | New York | 5.0 | 216 | Aftercare Products, Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services | | 3 | [INKNATION STUDIO](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/new-york/inknation-studio.md) | New York | 4.9 | 707 | Minimalist / Micro, American Traditional, Fine Line | | 4 | [RISING DRAGON TATTOOS NYC](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/new-york/rising-dragon-tattoos-nyc.md) | New York | 4.9 | 695 | Japanese / Irezumi, Black & Grey, Realism / Portrait | | 5 | [Cleopatra Ink Tattoo & Piercing Manhattan Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/new-york/cleopatra-ink-tattoo-piercing-manhattan-studio.md) | New York | 4.9 | 613 | Minimalist / Micro, Fine Line, Black & Grey | | 6 | [L.O.V.E.machine Tattoo & Piercing](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/new-york/l-o-v-e-machine-tattoo-piercing.md) | New York | 4.9 | 582 | Minimalist / Micro, Fine Line, Japanese / Irezumi | | 7 | [ALTERED ADDICTION TATTOOS](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/hudson-falls/altered-addiction-tattoos.md) | Hudson Falls | 4.9 | 339 | Tattoo Touch-Ups, Cover-Up Tattoos, Custom Tattoo Designs | | 8 | [Burning Phoenix Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/yonkers/burning-phoenix-studio.md) | Yonkers | 4.9 | 255 | American Traditional, Script / Lettering, Japanese / Irezumi | | 9 | [Three Kings Tattoo Long Island](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/merrick/three-kings-tattoo-long-island.md) | Merrick | 4.9 | 201 | Realism / Portrait, Walk-ins Welcome, Cover-Up Tattoos | | 10 | [New York Hardcore Tattoos](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/new-york/new-york-hardcore-tattoos.md) | New York | 4.9 | 181 | Walk-ins Welcome, Cover-Up Tattoos, Custom Tattoo Designs | | 11 | [Lark Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/westbury/lark-tattoo.md) | Westbury | 4.8 | 1,000 | Aftercare Products, Piercing Services, Cover-Up Tattoos | | 12 | [First Class Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/new-york/first-class-tattoo.md) | New York | 4.8 | 422 | Fine Line, Japanese / Irezumi, Black & Grey | | 13 | [Artistic Point Tattoo Company](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/ithaca/artistic-point-tattoo-company.md) | Ithaca | 4.8 | 353 | Cover-Up Tattoos, Custom Tattoo Designs | | 14 | [Fun City Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/new-york/fun-city-tattoo.md) | New York | 4.8 | 325 | Walk-ins Welcome, Tattoo Touch-Ups, Cover-Up Tattoos | | 15 | [Damm Nice Tattoo & Body Art](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/scarsdale/damm-nice-tattoo-body-art.md) | Scarsdale | 4.8 | 310 | Realism / Portrait, Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services | | 16 | [Armageddon Tattoo Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/brooklyn/armageddon-tattoo-studio.md) | Brooklyn | 4.8 | 254 | Walk-ins Welcome, Flash Tattoos Available, Cover-Up Tattoos | | 17 | [East End Tattoo of Patchogue](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/patchogue/east-end-tattoo-of-patchogue.md) | Patchogue | 4.8 | 211 | Fine Line, Black & Grey, Realism / Portrait | | 18 | [The Ultimate Tattoo & Body Piercing](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/rochester/the-ultimate-tattoo-body-piercing.md) | Rochester | 4.7 | 369 | Script / Lettering, Black & Grey, Realism / Portrait | | 19 | [Kadaphi tattoos](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/new-york/kadaphi-tattoos.md) | New York | 4.6 | 173 | Aftercare Products, Piercing Services, Cover-Up Tattoos | | 20 | [Black Fish Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/new-york/black-fish-tattoo.md) | New York | 4.6 | 204 | Minimalist / Micro, Fine Line, Japanese / Irezumi | | 21 | [Top Shelf Ink Tattoo Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/brooklyn/top-shelf-ink-tattoo-studio.md) | Brooklyn | 4.5 | 168 | Script / Lettering, Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services | ## Related - [Cover-up tattoo shops by state](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/cover-ups.md) - [Tattoo shops in New York](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york.md) - [The best tattoo shops in New York](https://www.localtattoos.com/new-york/best-tattoo-shops.md) --- *Source: [LocalTattoos.com](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/cover-ups/new-york/).
