Tattoo Machines — Handcrafted by Dustin Golden (Chicago, IL)
Each Tattoo Machine is meticulously hand-built and tuned by Dustin Golden of Fudo Tattoo in Chicago, Illinois, embodying the balance between traditional craftsmanship and functional performance.

Every frame is cut, drilled, brazed, and finished by Dustin himself, ensuring each machine carries his exact tuning and performance standards. Built to run smooth, hit clean, and stay cool during long sessions, Fudo Coils deliver that unmistakable mechanical consistency that only a hand-tuned coil can provide.
