--- type: state_ranking name: "The 10 best tattoo shops in Virginia" state: "Virginia" abbr: "VA" shops: 10 eligible: 59 url: https://www.localtattoos.com/virginia/best-tattoo-shops/ --- # The 10 best tattoo shops in Virginia 59 shops in Virginia 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 | [Loose Screw Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/virginia/richmond/loose-screw-tattoo.md) | Richmond | 5.0 | 1,800 | | 2 | [Black Caesar Tattoos & Piercings](https://www.localtattoos.com/virginia/roanoke/black-caesar-tattoos-piercings.md) | Roanoke | 5.0 | 698 | | 3 | [Ink challenge](https://www.localtattoos.com/virginia/fairfax/ink-challenge.md) | Fairfax | 5.0 | 371 | | 4 | [Vienna Tattoo Studio](https://www.localtattoos.com/virginia/vienna/vienna-tattoo-studio.md) | Vienna | 5.0 | 322 | | 5 | [Studio Evolve](https://www.localtattoos.com/virginia/virginia-beach/studio-evolve.md) | Virginia Beach | 4.9 | 1,100 | | 6 | [GREG'S TATTOO'S LLC](https://www.localtattoos.com/virginia/portsmouth/greg-s-tattoo-s-llc.md) | Portsmouth | 4.9 | 629 | | 7 | [138 Tattoo & Body Piercing](https://www.localtattoos.com/virginia/gloucester-point/138-tattoo-body-piercing.md) | Gloucester Point | 4.9 | 402 | | 8 | [Sandbridge Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/virginia/virginia-beach/sandbridge-tattoo.md) | Virginia Beach | 4.9 | 339 | | 9 | [Fury 13 Tattoo](https://www.localtattoos.com/virginia/alexandria/fury-13-tattoo.md) | Alexandria | 4.9 | 307 | | 10 | [Mister Finster's Tattoo Studio & Body Piercing](https://www.localtattoos.com/virginia/falls-church/mister-finster-s-tattoo-studio-body-piercing.md) | Falls Church | 4.9 | 286 | ### 1.
