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 | [Apocalypse Girl Tattoos](https://www.localtattoos.com/north-carolina/cary/apocalypse-girl-tattoos.md) | Cary | 5.0 | 935 | Minimalist / Micro, Fine Line, Aftercare Products | | 2 | [Zen Ink Tattoo & Piercing (River Arts District)](https://www.localtattoos.com/north-carolina/asheville/zen-ink-tattoo-piercing-river-arts-district.md) | Asheville | 4.9 | 614 | Minimalist / Micro, Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services | | 3 | [Lone Wolf Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/north-carolina/charlotte/lone-wolf-tattoo.md) | Charlotte | 4.9 | 245 | Minimalist / Micro, Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services | ## Related - [Minimalist tattoo shops by state](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/minimalist.md) - [Tattoo shops in North Carolina](https://www.localtattoos.com/north-carolina.md) - [The best tattoo shops in North Carolina](https://www.localtattoos.com/north-carolina/best-tattoo-shops.md) --- *Source: [LocalTattoos.com](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/minimalist/north-carolina/).
