Renderings by Tristan

Tristan Pengelly has spent years blending and refining his creative art styles and love for custom car culture that began at the ripe age of 14 years old. By 15 he started rendering vehicles to show builders what their dream project could potentially look like. At age 16 he had accomplished his first magazine entry in a Canadian local hot rod magazine, and has been published numerous times since.

Renderings by Tristan began based out of Langley, British Columbia, Canada. As Tristan quickly grew a name in the automotive industry for another six years or so, he went out to chase yet another artistic dream of his – to become a prominent tattoo artist. Working hard and creating dynamic new school tattoos like the ones seen in this entry, he created a name in the tattoo industry as “Staynd Studio”.
