Host An Event
Slowpoke Tattoo brings pop-up tattoos to private parties, weddings, bachelorettes, corporate events, brand activations and festivals in Austin, TX and beyond. From your Sunday vintage market to large festivals, we can handle it. Trusted by ACL, Lollapalooza, SXSW, Soho House, Paseo, The Concourse Project and many more.
How Event Day Works
We bring tattoo artists plus an event admin who runs a waitlist, so guests can sign up and enjoy the party instead of standing in line. We handle all waivers, and we're fully insured with coverage up to $5 million.
Custom Event Flash
Choose from our ready-to-go house flash, or let us design custom flash made just for your event, brand or celebration. See examples on our Flash page.
Tattoo Styles for Every Guest
Our 20+ artists cover fine line, feminine, traditional and more, done by hand poke, machine, or both. Tell us the look you're going for and we'll match the right team to your vibe.
Event Tattoo Pricing
Pricing is based on the number of artists and hours. Each artist does 2 to 3 tattoos an hour, and we usually plan for 25 to 30% of your guests getting tattooed, so we'll help you size the team. Then pick the payment model that fits:
Charge at Event: free for you; guests pay per tattoo, starting at $80 each.
Hybrid: a lower hourly fee, and guests pay a reduced rate.
Hosted: an hourly fee, and tattoos are free for your guests.
Private Parties & Brand Takeovers
Want to bring your group to us? Host a private party or brand takeover at either of our two shops, both with the shop and courtyards for your guests. Want to plan a party we can help with vendors, DJs, food, wine and more.
Indoor, Outdoor & On the Road
We'll travel as far as your event needs, from Austin across Texas and beyond. For summer events in Texas, we recommend an indoor space for everyone's comfort and safety.
