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.

At Slowpoke, we work in both machine and handpoke — because the right technique depends on the tattoo, not a default setting.
Machine tattooing is fast, precise, and ideal for bold linework, shading, and larger-scale pieces.
Handpoke is slower and deliberate, built stroke by stroke without a motor — favored for delicate, fine-line work with a softer, more organic feel.
Several of our artists work in both. The best way to find your fit is to start with who you want to work with.
