Finding a great tattoo shop near you

Searching "tattoo shops near me" can return hundreds of results — most of them paid ads or shops that haven't updated their info in years. Markd lists only verified tattoo parlors from coast to coast, with real-time hours, current ratings, and the styles each artist actually specializes in.

We cover every major US market: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin, Houston, Miami, Atlanta, Seattle, Denver, Phoenix, and dozens more. Whether you're looking for fine line work, traditional American, Japanese, blackwork, or realism, you can filter to find a shop that fits your style and is open right now.

Once you allow location access, we sort every studio by exact distance from where you're standing — no city guessing, no zip code typing. Tap any shop to see photos, reviews, hours, and how to book.
