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 | [Evolved Body Art](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/columbus/evolved-body-art.md) | Columbus | 4.9 | 9,100 | Realism / Portrait, Aftercare Products, Walk-ins Welcome | | 2 | [Wave’s Raditattoo Me Parlor](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/dayton/wave-s-raditattoo-me-parlor.md) | Dayton | 5.0 | 214 | American Traditional, Fine Line, Realism / Portrait | | 3 | [AION TATTOO](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/columbus/aion-tattoo.md) | Columbus | 5.0 | 210 | Japanese / Irezumi, Realism / Portrait, Guest Artists | | 4 | [Cleopatra Ink Tattoo & Piercing Columbus Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/columbus/cleopatra-ink-tattoo-piercing-columbus-studio.md) | Columbus | 4.9 | 770 | Geometric / Mandala, Realism / Portrait, Walk-ins Welcome | | 5 | [The Inkeeper's Tattoo Parlor](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/canton/the-inkeeper-s-tattoo-parlor.md) | Canton | 4.9 | 437 | American Traditional, Realism / Portrait, Aftercare Products | | 6 | [Art Bound Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/toledo/art-bound-studio.md) | Toledo | 4.9 | 259 | American Traditional, Realism / Portrait, Walk-ins Welcome | | 7 | [Ink and Iron Tattoo Parlour and Gallery](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/toledo/ink-and-iron-tattoo-parlour-and-gallery.md) | Toledo | 4.9 | 216 | Realism / Portrait, Cover-Up Tattoos, Custom Tattoo Designs | | 8 | [Red Tree Tattoo Gallery](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/columbus/red-tree-tattoo-gallery.md) | Columbus | 4.9 | 197 | American Traditional, Black & Grey, Realism / Portrait | | 9 | [Cauldron Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/columbus/cauldron-tattoo.md) | Columbus | 5.0 | 60 | Realism / Portrait, Aftercare Products, Cover-Up Tattoos | | 10 | [Tattoo Good Things](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/columbus/tattoo-good-things.md) | Columbus | 4.9 | 64 | American Traditional, Fine Line, Realism / Portrait | | 11 | [True Art Tattoos, Inc](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/cleveland/true-art-tattoos-inc.md) | Cleveland | 4.8 | 1,400 | Realism / Portrait, Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services | | 12 | [Ink'd 4 Life Piercing](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/lancaster/ink-d-4-life-piercing.md) | Lancaster | 4.8 | 354 | Realism / Portrait, Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services | | 13 | [Hot Rod Tattooing](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/martins-ferry/hot-rod-tattooing.md) | Martins Ferry | 4.8 | 336 | American Traditional, Japanese / Irezumi, Black & Grey | | 14 | [Artis Inks Tattoo - Clifton](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/cincinnati/artis-inks-tattoo-clifton.md) | Cincinnati | 4.8 | 285 | Fine Line, Black & Grey, Realism / Portrait | | 15 | [Pressure Ink](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/columbus/pressure-ink.md) | Columbus | 4.8 | 126 | Realism / Portrait, Cover-Up Tattoos, Custom Tattoo Designs | | 16 | [Glass Ink Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/hamilton/glass-ink-tattoo.md) | Hamilton | 4.7 | 285 | Realism / Portrait, Piercing Services, Custom Tattoo Designs | | 17 | [Hammer's Tattoo & Body Piercing](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/canton/hammer-s-tattoo-body-piercing.md) | Canton | 4.7 | 528 | Realism / Portrait, Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services | | 18 | [Assassin Tattoo Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/akron/assassin-tattoo-studio.md) | Akron | 4.7 | 558 | American Traditional, Realism / Portrait, Aftercare Products | | 19 | [Red Dragon Tattoo & Piercing](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/cincinnati/red-dragon-tattoo-piercing.md) | Cincinnati | 4.7 | 903 | Black & Grey, Realism / Portrait, Piercing Services | | 20 | [Steel Addictions](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/toledo/steel-addictions.md) | Toledo | 4.6 | 468 | American Traditional, Realism / Portrait, Walk-ins Welcome | ## Related - [Realism tattoo shops by state](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/realism.md) - [Tattoo shops in Ohio](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio.md) - [The best tattoo shops in Ohio](https://www.localtattoos.com/ohio/best-tattoo-shops.md) --- *Source: [LocalTattoos.com](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/realism/ohio/).
