--- type: best_category_state name: "Best walk-in tattoo shops in Virginia" category: "walk-ins" state: "Virginia" abbr: "VA" shops: 43 url: https://www.localtattoos.com/best/walk-ins/virginia/ --- # Best walk-in tattoo shops in Virginia 43 shops in Virginia that reviewers mention for walk-in tattooing, each with at least 25 Google reviews. ## 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. ## Ranked shops | # | Shop | City | Rating | Reviews | Reviewers mention | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [Loose Screw
