Pat Schreader custom tattoo machines in Colorado

CUSTOM HANDMADE TATTOO MACHINES

Built with the precision of a machinist and the soul of an American original, Pat Schreader's handmade tattoo machines are crafted the way the best things always have been — by hand, with intention, and without compromise. Trained by America's tattooing masters, Pat brings old-school know-how and a gearhead's obsession with performance to every build. Each set of coils is wound by hand, and that difference shows up where it matters most: in the consistency of the hit, the responsiveness under your grip, and a reliability that lasts not just years, but a career. The tension, wrap count, and core saturation are all dialed in with the same care you'd give a finely tuned engine. And like any machine worth owning, Pat's are built to be maintained, not replaced. Send it back whenever it needs a tune-up or a rebuild, and it'll come back running like the day you first plugged it in. When you buy one of Pat's machines, you're not just picking up a tool — you're investing in something built to last by someone who'll stand behind it for as long as you're pushing ink.

Hand-Wound Coils

Every set of coils wound by hand for precise tension, wrap count, and core saturation — dialed in like a finely tuned engine.

Built to Last

Crafted to be maintained, not replaced. A machine built for a career — not just a season.

Lifetime Support

Send it back for a tune-up or rebuild anytime. It'll come back running like the day you first plugged it in.

"I have a set of machines from Pat that I've been using since 2024. To say they are powerful would be an understatement. The ease at which the liner drops lines is hard to explain. The shader is great for everything. From traditional whips, to solid japanese background, it will do everything. Pat is also a solid human which makes it even better. He is very attentive to your needs and wants when it comes to your machines. I can't recommend them enough!"

— Zach Stuka, Forward Tattoo

"My machines from Pat have been great. He made my everyday liner that I've put to the test for years and will continue to use for many more! Thanks Pat!"

— Jared Leathers, Leo Zulueta Spiral Tattoo, Ann Arbor MI

"Ever since meeting Pat I've like his dedication to the craft and always trying to improve what he's working on, whether it's tattooing, machine building or sign painting. AND he has the prettiest blue eyes"

— Ahren Bloomquist, AtoZ Tattoo, Eminent Machine Supply
