Shagbuilt Shaders

COIL MACHINES

I tune machines to the specifications you request. The more info you can provide me with, the better chance I have of getting you what you need.

Some of these frame styles will change as I like to mix it up a bit. There are new styles for 2013, collaboration projects and limited edition machines in the works as well, so check back often.

This site is still in the works and I am trying to update it in between tattooing and making machines. IF YOU DON’T SEE WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, CONTACT ME.

SHADERS

All of my shaders are built upon the same basic geometry. Many can be set up to run a variety of needle groupings and perform a specific task. So, for the most part, the frame style you choose is more of  an aesthetic choice, although a few of them will dictate what groupings they will work best for.

The frames are usually 3 piece, and are welded and/or brazed and feature hand wound coils and brass hardware. I also make 4 and 5 piece frames, such as Jonseys and my new Streamliners, but they will cost a bit more due to the extra fabrication time.

Standard machines (base price models) come with black tape and have an oil blackened finish. Please write me to inquire about any other specifics you might like to know about.
