BEFORE YOU TAKE A SEAT

A few good questions.

How do I choose a tattoo shop?

Start with the artist’s portfolio and the kind of tattoo you want. Ask about their process, healed work, consultation, pricing and care instructions. Directory details help you make contact; they do not certify an artist’s work or a shop’s practices.

Are all 36,066 listings verified businesses?

No. This starting dataset contains 36,066 source listings, not a certified census of operating shops. A location may have moved, closed or changed its details. Sources and review dates are shown where available. Confirm the address and availability directly before traveling.

Why do some shops not appear on the map?

Only listings with usable coordinates are plotted. Shops without coordinates still appear in text searches. We do not invent a pin from an unverified address.

Can I save and compare shops?

Yes. Heart a shop to add it to your shortlist, and compare up to three shops side by side. Your shortlist stays in this browser. Contact and booking links go directly to the shop.
