4worldlovers: Picture Machine tattoo was founded in 1976 by Pat Martynuik, who had moved to San Francisco from Canada in 1970. Pat began tattooing as a hobby, picking up tips from Doc Forbes and his friend, Huck Spaulding, and went on to own and operate his own shops in Edmonton, and later, Calgary. Upon his arrival in San Francisco, Pat began working at Lyle Tuttle, Sr.’s shop on 7th street next to the bus station, just south of Market St. During this period Pat taught the trade to his own son and Lyle Junior. He also earned his nickname, “ The Picture Machine” for the long hours he worked and his constant productivity -Pat was at the shop 7 days a week, and at any given moment he was either tattooing or drawing flash. In 1976 he decided to part ways with Lyle Sr., and opened his own tattoo shop at 3940 Geary between 3rd and 4th avenues, where he resumed the habits that earned him his nickname.

In 1989 Pat died in the shop, basically while in the middle of a tattoo. The Picture Machine became the property of his son, Guy, who by this time also owned his own shop, body Graphics, in Reno, Nevada. Guy maintained operation of the Picture Machine and his Reno shop for a year, and taught his own son Jesse, who now owns body Graphics, to tattoo as well.

In 2005 Guy Martynuik sold the shop to his former coworker Lyle Tuttle Jr. Lyle Jr had been born and raised around tattooing. He had done his first tattoo at the age of 12, and started working under the supervision of Pat Martynuik at his father’s shop, while Lyle Sr. was globetrotting to promote tattooing (and himself). He lived at the tattoo shop, and essentially worked 16 hour days, 7 days a week, preparing the shop in the morning, cleaning up at night and doing anything else that was required after hours. He worked at the 7th street location for 2 years, after which he moved to Hollywood to open another Lyle Tuttle tattoo shop on Sunset blvd. 1 1⁄2 years later his father sold the Hollywood shop to Cliff Raven, and Lyle Jr. returned to San Francisco, did a short stint back at 7th street, and then moved to Vallejo across the bay, to open yet another Lyle Tuttle tattoo shop. Lyle Jr. purchased this shop from his father shortly thereafter. He worked and ran the Vallejo shop for 10 to 12 years, until the local naval base was closed and business dropped off, at which time Lyle Jr. sold the shop to “Fuzzy”, who maintained it for a short time (less than a year), before it finally closed. Lyle Jr., for all intents and purposes retired from tattooing at this point and went on to work in construction, as well as a number of other shady enterprises.
