Specializing in traditional tattooing, he has been making his own machines under the MPP brand for several years. What is striking about his work is a constant pursuit of precision: at MPP, a new machine is never a fad, but the result of technical reflection and years of testing.\n  <\/p>\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solutat.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/89f4af3f-6cb1-4c8d-831b-97bccf496cb4.webp\" alt=\"Martin Pintos Old School traditional drawing and tattoo style\" class=\"art-img-inline\">\n\n  <p class=\"art-credit\">Photo credit: MPP \u2014 Martin Pintos<\/p>\n\n  <h2>A tattoo artist before being a builder<\/h2>\n\n  <p>\n    Like many recognized builders, Martin Pintos is first a tattoo artist. His universe is anchored in Traditional Tattoo \u2014 Old School \u2014, a style that forgives nothing: bold lines, perfect regularity, and machines with consistent performance.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    It is this everyday demand that guides his approach to design. His machines are not conceived behind a desk, but developed from what he encounters in the studio. Every improvement responds to a real use.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solutat.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ce9832d8-bd1f-4113-8b90-99db0deedc26.webp\" alt=\"Martin Pintos Old School traditional drawing and tattoo style\" class=\"art-img-inline\">\n\n  <p class=\"art-credit\">Photo credit: MPP \u2014 Martin Pintos<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"art-divider\"><\/div>\n\n  <h2>It all starts in the workshop<\/h2>\n\n  <p>\n    On February 12, 2018, Martin published a post that marked a milestone in his journey: after all this time, he could finally begin assembling his machines, and opened reservations one by one. Just a few lines, but they said it all\u2014the hours spent designing, testing, modifying, and perfecting before offering anything to other tattoo artists.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    At that time, every machine was released in very small quantities, almost like a custom-made workshop piece. This philosophy has remained at the heart of MPP.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"art-photos\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solutat.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1954a94b-e59b-4d7c-9fe4-87609704d1c2.webp\" alt=\"Early MPP machine frames at the start of the adventure\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solutat.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/7f4ae52d-db99-480f-aacb-832e3bde1669.webp\" alt=\"Handcrafted manufacturing of MPP machines\">\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p class=\"art-credit\">Photo credit: MPP \u2014 Martin Pintos<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"art-divider\"><\/div>\n\n  <h2>Improve, rather than replace<\/h2>\n\n  <p>\n    This is perhaps the most interesting aspect of their work. While some brands renew their catalog every year, MPP evolves its models step by step. The goal is not to release one machine a year, but to improve the one that already exists: less vibration, better weight distribution, ergonomics, stability, versatility.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    Each version brings concrete improvements, born from several years of experience. The Liner 6.0 is a good example: more comfort, better balance, and greater versatility, without losing the feel that made previous generations famous.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"art-photos\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solutat.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/6f40d768-63ca-4da4-90d4-54af8ab95ca9.webp\" alt=\"MPP tattoo machine made by Martin Pintos\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solutat.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/7d87ce3c-5372-4f78-8c20-e5b21259f1d2.webp\" alt=\"Another MPP tattoo machine by Martin Pintos\">\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p class=\"art-credit\">Photo credit: MPP \u2014 Martin Pintos<\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    Attention to detail is evident right down to the finishes\u2014that is where a large part of a builder's reputation is made.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solutat.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/d6e57413-9652-4206-8817-c1758cea49e8.webp\" alt=\"Finishing detail on an MPP tattoo machine\" class=\"art-img-inline\">\n\n  <p class=\"art-credit\">Photo credit: MPP \u2014 Martin Pintos<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"art-divider\"><\/div>\n\n  <h2>Handmade craftsmanship<\/h2>\n\n  <p>\n    All MPP machines are handcrafted in small batches. This allows Martin to keep a hand on every step and stay true to his vision of the equipment. More than just a manufacturer, he maintains a direct relationship with the artists who use his machines: he listens to feedback, makes adjustments, and starts over.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    In an industry where manufacturing is taking up more and more space, this approach remains rare \u2014 and sought-after. Its machines are also compact and lightweight, as seen when they fit in the palm of a hand.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"art-photos\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solutat.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/ebc008ee-fadc-4e0f-a12b-a27cf0ececee.webp\" alt=\"Testing an MPP tattoo machine\">\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solutat.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/50eeee60-b094-4888-a920-96408ddb852b.webp\" alt=\"Handheld MPP machine, compact format\">\n  <\/div>\n\n  <p class=\"art-credit\">Photo credit: MPP \u2014 Martin Pintos<\/p>\n\n  <div class=\"art-divider\"><\/div>\n\n  <h2>An expanding range<\/h2>\n\n  <p>\n    MPP is not limited to a single model.

Yet, his work is recognized by tattoo artists looking for carefully crafted machines, built to last, and developed above all for the trade.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    His journey illustrates an idea often found among independent builders: the best machines aren\u2019t born out of a marketing strategy, but from years spent tinkering, testing, modifying, and starting over.
