Your A List: Best Tattoo Parlor
My skin bears exactly one tattoo.
For various reasons, we acquired these permanent markings in San Francisco, not Austin. Yet Our Town is blessed with numerous respected ink shops.
The winner of the A List readers poll for Best Tattoo Parlor was — in a landslide — Platinum Ink. Working out of two locations, one north and one south, it whipped up a full 45 percent of the vote.
Three parlors ranked pretty far behind — Atomic, Southside and True Blue — with between 10 and 12 percent of the tally.
Diablo Rojo — great name! — won 8 percent. Taking 5 percent or less were Gully Cat, Perfection, River City, Rock of Ages and Steadfast.
