--- type: state_ranking name: "The 10 best tattoo shops in Tennessee" state: "Tennessee" abbr: "TN" shops: 10 eligible: 89 url: https://www.localtattoos.com/tennessee/best-tattoo-shops/ --- # The 10 best tattoo shops in Tennessee 89 shops in Tennessee 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 | [Idle Hands Tattoo Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/tennessee/knoxville/idle-hands-tattoo-studio.md) | Knoxville | 5.0 | 402 | | 2 | [Riverside Tattoo Co.](https://www.localtattoos.com/tennessee/knoxville/riverside-tattoo-co.md) | Knoxville | 5.0 | 393 | | 3 | [Hidden Door Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/tennessee/nashville/hidden-door-tattoo.md) | Nashville | 5.0 | 264 | | 4 | [me2tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/tennessee/memphis/me2tattoo.md) | Memphis | 5.0 | 253 | | 5 | [Argonaut Tattoo & Piercing Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/tennessee/clarksville/argonaut-tattoo-piercing-studio.md) | Clarksville | 5.0 | 229 | | 6 | [Dark Raine Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/tennessee/clarksville/dark-raine-tattoo.md) | Clarksville | 4.9 | 999 | | 7 | [Archangel Custom Ink Tattoo & Piercing](https://www.localtattoos.com/tennessee/knoxville/archangel-custom-ink-tattoo-piercing.md) | Knoxville | 4.9 | 803 | | 8 | [One Drop Ink Creative Suites](https://www.localtattoos.com/tennessee/nashville/one-drop-ink-creative-suites.md) | Nashville | 4.9 | 747 | | 9 | [Art & Honor Tattoo & Body Piercing Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/tennessee/jackson/art-honor-tattoo-body-piercing-studio.md) | Jackson | 4.9 | 502 | | 10 | [Roustabout Tattoo And Body Piercing](https://www.localtattoos.com/tennessee/cookeville/roustabout-tattoo-and-body-piercing.md) | Cookeville | 4.9 | 479 | ### 1.
