--- type: state_ranking name: "The 10 best tattoo shops in District of Columbia" state: "District of Columbia" abbr: "DC" shops: 10 eligible: 14 url: https://www.localtattoos.com/district-of-columbia/best-tattoo-shops/ --- # The 10 best tattoo shops in District of Columbia 14 shops in District of Columbia carry at least 25 Google reviews and qualify; these are the top 10. ## 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. ## The ranking | # | Shop | City | Rating | Reviews | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [Cry Baby Studios DC](https://www.localtattoos.com/district-of-columbia/washington/cry-baby-studios-dc.md) | Washington | 5.0 | 461 | | 2 | [Tattoo Culture DC](https://www.localtattoos.com/district-of-columbia/washington/tattoo-culture-dc.md) | Washington | 5.0 | 153 | | 3 | [Trilogy Atelier - DC Tattoo Shop / Piercing Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/district-of-columbia/washington/trilogy-atelier-dc-tattoo-shop-piercing-studio.md) | Washington | 4.9 | 250 | | 4 | [Long Road Tattoo studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/district-of-columbia/washington/long-road-tattoo-studio.md) | Washington | 5.0 | 75 | | 5 | [Second Son Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/district-of-columbia/washington/second-son-tattoo.md) | Washington | 4.9 | 120 | | 6 | [Globe Electric Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/district-of-columbia/washington/globe-electric-tattoo.md) | Washington | 4.8 | 50 | | 7 | [District Tattoo Company](https://www.localtattoos.com/district-of-columbia/washington/district-tattoo-company.md) | Washington | 4.7 | 197 | | 8 | [Top Notch Tattoo Studio on 14th](https://www.localtattoos.com/district-of-columbia/washington/top-notch-tattoo-studio-on-14th.md) | Washington | 4.5 | 110 | | 9 | [Fatty's Tattoos & Piercings H Street](https://www.localtattoos.com/district-of-columbia/washington/fatty-s-tattoos-piercings-h-street.md) | Washington | 4.6 | 279 | | 10 | [Jinx Proof Tattoos](https://www.localtattoos.com/district-of-columbia/washington/jinx-proof-tattoos.md) | Washington | 4.6 | 367 | ### 1.
