--- type: best_category name: "Piercing shops" category: "piercing" kind: "service" shops: 1539 states: 49 url: https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/ --- # Best piercing shops by state Studios reviewers mention for piercing as well as tattooing. 1,539 shops across 49 states qualify. ## How this is ranked Shops are ordered by a Bayesian-adjusted rating: (n × rating + 320 × 4.79) ÷ (n + 320), where n is the shop's Google review count, 320 is the median review count across the directory and 4.79 is the directory-wide mean rating. 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. ## States | State | Shops | | --- | --- | | [Florida](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/florida.md) | 125 | | [Texas](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/texas.md) | 113 | | [California](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/california.md) | 84 | | [New York](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/new-york.md) | 80 | | [North Carolina](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/north-carolina.md) | 71 | | [Ohio](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/ohio.md) | 61 | | [Tennessee](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/tennessee.md) | 58 | | [Georgia](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/georgia.md) | 56 | | [Michigan](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/michigan.md) | 52 | | [Pennsylvania](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/pennsylvania.md) | 51 | | [Arizona](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/arizona.md) | 50 | | [Illinois](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/illinois.md) | 47 | | [New Jersey](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/new-jersey.md) | 47 | | [Indiana](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/indiana.md) | 45 | | [Missouri](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/missouri.md) | 44 | | [Colorado](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/colorado.md) | 43 | | [Virginia](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/virginia.md) | 37 | | [Alabama](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/alabama.md) | 30 | | [Minnesota](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/minnesota.md) | 29 | | [Utah](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/utah.md) | 28 | | [Louisiana](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/louisiana.md) | 27 | | [Massachusetts](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/massachusetts.md) | 27 | | [Washington](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/washington.md) | 27 | | [Maryland](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/maryland.md) | 25 | | [Oregon](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/oregon.md) | 23 | | [Kentucky](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/kentucky.md) | 22 | | [Wisconsin](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/wisconsin.md) | 22 | | [Connecticut](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/connecticut.md) | 21 | | [Idaho](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/idaho.md) | 18 | | [Iowa](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/iowa.md) | 16 | | [Oklahoma](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/oklahoma.md) | 14 | | [Nevada](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/nevada.md) | 13 | | [New Mexico](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/new-mexico.md) | 12 | | [Arkansas](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/arkansas.md) | 11 | | [Mississippi](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/mississippi.md) | 11 | | [Nebraska](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/nebraska.md) | 11 | | [District of Columbia](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/district-of-columbia.md) | 10 | | [Kansas](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/kansas.md) | 10 | | [New Hampshire](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/new-hampshire.md) | 9 | | [South Carolina](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/south-carolina.md) | 9 | | [Montana](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/montana.md) | 8 | | [Maine](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/maine.md) | 7 | | [Rhode Island](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/rhode-island.md) | 7 | | [Hawaii](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/hawaii.md) | 6 | | [North Dakota](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/north-dakota.md) | 6 | | [Delaware](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/delaware.md) | 5 | | [West Virginia](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/west-virginia.md) | 4 | | [Wyoming](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/wyoming.md) | 4 | | [South Dakota](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/south-dakota.md) | 3 | States without their own ranked page have too few qualifying shops; those links go to the state directory instead. ## Other categories - [Realism tattoo shops](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/realism.md) - [Black & grey tattoo shops](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/black-and-grey.md) - [Fine line tattoo shops](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/fine-line.md) - [Traditional tattoo shops](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/traditional.md) - [Japanese tattoo shops](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/japanese.md) - [Script & lettering tattoo shops](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/script-lettering.md) - [Minimalist tattoo shops](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/minimalist.md) - [Geometric tattoo shops](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/geometric.md) - [Implant-grade jewelry piercing shops](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/implant-grade-jewelry.md) - [Cover-up tattoo shops](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/cover-ups.md) - [Walk-in tattoo shops](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/walk-ins.md) --- *Source: [LocalTattoos.com](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/piercing/).
