DCTatts, Inc., round rock

When you enter DCTatts, Inc., don't expect to see giant posters with templates for tattoos lining the walls. Owners Don and Cynthia Couch let their patrons saddle up to one of several computers outfitted with a gallery of designs and images. Three tattoo artists, boasting more than 30 years of combined experience, ink patrons with their desired image, and to thank the visitors who go in for major work—a purchase of $100 or more—the team offers a free small tattoo to a significant other, mother, or guardian angel. In addition to expert ink services, DCTatts also performs piercings, sells handmade jewelry, and sets up budding tattoo artists with appropriate equipment.
