Method

How the best script and lettering tattoo shops are ranked

Every state list orders its script and lettering tattoo shops by a Bayesian-adjusted Google rating: each shop's rating is pulled toward the directory average in proportion to how few reviews back it, so a 5.0 from thirty reviews does not outrank a 4.9 from six hundred. Ties go to the shop with more reviews. A shop qualifies when it lists script and lettering tattoos among its styles and has at least 25 Google reviews; one listing per street address. Nobody paid for a place and nothing is hand-picked.
