About Slowpoke Tattoo in Austin
LGBTQ friendly and women owned Slowpoke Tattoo is Austin's spot for intentional ink and the kind of creative energy that actually feels good to be around. Two studios, zero pretension, just artists who care, and a space that feels like home.
Slowpoke Tattoo features a hand-picked crew of Austin’s best artists at both our flagship Camp East studio and our Slowpoke Salina spot. At both locations, our mission is simple: provide a welcoming, high-vibe space where we walk you through every step of the process.
Hand Poke or Machine Tattooing
Two Methods. One Standard.
At Slowpoke, we work in both machine and hand-poke because the best approach depends on the piece.
-
Machine tattooing is fast and precise, ideal for bold linework, shading, and larger-scale work.
-
Hand-poke is slower and more deliberate built stroke by stroke, no motor, for delicate, fine-line designs with a softer, more organic feel.
A few of our artists do both. The best place to start? Find the artist whose work speaks to you by clicking into our Artists Page.
