Riston,  a fabricator / artisan working in a medium best described as industrial fusion, using different metals and  metallurgical techniques to achieve a unique look in all of his work.

Each machine is hand made using American labor, to create a unique look to every piece. 
Never outsourcing work to foreign countries or using "sweat shop" labor,  each machine is meticulously crafted by hand to create the finest tattoo machine you have ever used.
Each base is precision milled out of stainless steel then hand carved, sides are laser cut then hand carved and mounted with stainless hardware, no brazed joints to crack or break, ever!
 
Each piece is a work of art in itself, but once you use it, you will realize it is much more than just looks, it is a hard hitting,  precision instrument that you wont want to put down..

Performance in Hand is more than just a slogan, it describes the finest tattoo machine you will ever hold.
