--- type: state_ranking name: "The 10 best tattoo shops in South Carolina" state: "South Carolina" abbr: "SC" shops: 10 eligible: 46 url: https://www.localtattoos.com/south-carolina/best-tattoo-shops/ --- # The 10 best tattoo shops in South Carolina 46 shops in South Carolina 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 | [Fanatink Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/south-carolina/mauldin/fanatink-tattoo.md) | Mauldin | 5.0 | 402 | | 2 | [The Gallery Tattoo Greenville](https://www.localtattoos.com/south-carolina/greenville/the-gallery-tattoo-greenville.md) | Greenville | 5.0 | 375 | | 3 | [Silver Serpent Tattoo Emporium](https://www.localtattoos.com/south-carolina/florence/silver-serpent-tattoo-emporium.md) | Florence | 5.0 | 306 | | 4 | [Elite Ink Tattoos of Myrtle Beach](https://www.localtattoos.com/south-carolina/myrtle-beach/elite-ink-tattoos-of-myrtle-beach.md) | Myrtle Beach | 4.9 | 3,700 | | 5 | [Ophidian Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/south-carolina/columbia/ophidian-tattoo.md) | Columbia | 5.0 | 282 | | 6 | [Tattoo Spirits](https://www.localtattoos.com/south-carolina/west-columbia/tattoo-spirits.md) | West Columbia | 5.0 | 282 | | 7 | [Black Water Tattoo Collective](https://www.localtattoos.com/south-carolina/summerville/black-water-tattoo-collective.md) | Summerville | 5.0 | 215 | | 8 | [Myrtle Beach Ink](https://www.localtattoos.com/south-carolina/myrtle-beach/myrtle-beach-ink.md) | Myrtle Beach | 4.9 | 761 | | 9 | [Abzoluteink Tattoo Gallery](https://www.localtattoos.com/south-carolina/columbia/abzoluteink-tattoo-gallery.md) | Columbia | 4.9 | 500 | | 10 | [Hero Tattoo Myrtle Beach](https://www.localtattoos.com/south-carolina/myrtle-beach/hero-tattoo-myrtle-beach.md) | Myrtle Beach | 4.9 | 430 | ### 1.
