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 | [Ink Addiction Tattoos, LLC](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/lexington/ink-addiction-tattoos-llc.md) | Lexington | 5.0 | 617 | Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services, Custom Tattoo Designs | | 2 | [Wicked Dragon Tattoo & Piercing](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/erlanger/wicked-dragon-tattoo-piercing.md) | Erlanger | 4.9 | 1,100 | Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services, Custom Tattoo Designs | | 3 | [Infinite Electric Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/louisville/infinite-electric-tattoo.md) | Louisville | 4.9 | 393 | Aftercare Products, Walk-ins Welcome, Cover-Up Tattoos | | 4 | [Treasure Ink Tattoo Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/louisville/treasure-ink-tattoo-studio.md) | Louisville | 4.9 | 283 | Flash Tattoos Available, Aftercare Products, Walk-ins Welcome | | 5 | [Fallen Angel Tattoo Studio llc](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/lexington/fallen-angel-tattoo-studio-llc.md) | Lexington | 4.9 | 249 | American Traditional, Realism / Portrait, Aftercare Products | | 6 | [Tattoo Charlie's](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/lexington/tattoo-charlie-s.md) | Lexington | 4.8 | 566 | Black & Grey, Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services | | 7 | [Imperial Tattoos](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/louisville/imperial-tattoos.md) | Louisville | 4.8 | 475 | Realism / Portrait, Aftercare Products, Walk-ins Welcome | | 8 | [Carter's Tattoo Co](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/bowling-green/carter-s-tattoo-co.md) | Bowling Green | 4.8 | 220 | Walk-ins Welcome, Custom Tattoo Designs | | 9 | [Topper's Fine Line Tattoo's](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/bowling-green/topper-s-fine-line-tattoo-s.md) | Bowling Green | 4.8 | 209 | Aftercare Products, Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services | | 10 | [Castle of Color Tattoo & Body Piercings](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/nicholasville/castle-of-color-tattoo-body-piercings.md) | Nicholasville | 4.7 | 395 | Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services, Cover-Up Tattoos | | 11 | [Body Art Tattoos](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/georgetown/body-art-tattoos.md) | Georgetown | 4.6 | 197 | Walk-ins Welcome | | 12 | [Hornets Nest Elite Art Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/louisville/hornets-nest-elite-art-studio.md) | Louisville | 4.6 | 293 | Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services, Custom Tattoo Designs | | 13 | [Arts Ink Tattoo Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/covington/arts-ink-tattoo-studio.md) | Covington | 4.6 | 311 | Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services | | 14 | [Taboo Tattoos and Piercings](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/bowling-green/taboo-tattoos-and-piercings.md) | Bowling Green | 4.5 | 208 | Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services, Cover-Up Tattoos | | 15 | [Mothers Tattoo & Body Piercing](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/elsmere/mothers-tattoo-body-piercing.md) | Elsmere | 4.5 | 469 | Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services, Custom Tattoo Designs | | 16 | [Tattoo Charlie's Preston Hwy.](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/louisville/tattoo-charlie-s-preston-hwy.md) | Louisville | 4.5 | 742 | Black & Grey, Walk-ins Welcome, Piercing Services | ## Related - [Walk-in tattoo shops by state](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/walk-ins.md) - [Tattoo shops in Kentucky](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky.md) - [The best tattoo shops in Kentucky](https://www.localtattoos.com/kentucky/best-tattoo-shops.md) --- *Source: [LocalTattoos.com](https://www.localtattoos.com/best/walk-ins/kentucky/).
