tattooing & LAser Tattoo Removal in philadelphia & Bensalem, PA

established in 2010

Art Machine Productions was started by owner and artist Tim Pangburn as a private studio in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia. In 2011, the studio was moved to it’s current location, a 2700+ sq.ft. converted warehouse built in 1865, located on the now bustling Frankford Avenue Arts Corridor. In 2022, the studio expanded to a second location on Street Road in Bensalem, PA.

The premise behind Art Machine Productions is simple: to provide an environment for the artist to thrive and grow both their skills and client base, all while providing outstanding customer service to our patrons. From the start, we’ve focused heavily on providing an unmatched experience by giving clients a safe, relaxed atmosphere with friendly, skilled tattoo artists. We work to provide all styles of tattooing, whether it’s traditional, neotraditional, new school, black and grey, realism, blackwork, or portraits, you name it and we do it. Not only do we want to provide these services to our clients, but we also believe that artists working with artists of different styles have a great deal to contribute to each other in terms of learning, growth, and developing a personal style.

In the 12 years since its inception, Art Machine has been home to dozens of artists who established firm clientele and honed their craft behind our doors. They’ve gone on to own studios, star in tv shows, run nonprofits, and other successful endeavors. We consider it both an honor and our duty to support their growth while they are with Art Machine, and their success is a testament to the drive and ethic we represent.

Art Machine is also big on charity. Over the years we’ve hosted events benefiting The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, The Trevor Project, the Lupus Loop, Toys for Tots, Pennsylvania SPCA, Philabundance, Planned Parenthood, and Live Through This. We’ve assembled care packages for some of the homeless population in Philadelphia, and we’ve even held a fundraisers for friends who hit tough times. We are always looking for new charitable organizations to support and ways to give back to our community.

We invite you to stop in any time to view the artwork in our gallery, check our our artist portfolios, or get a quick consultation or tattoo done by one of our available artists. You can also stop in for a high five, because we give some damn good high fives.
