What Makes Our Milwaukee Tattoo Apprenticeship Stand Out?
Let’s be honest, traditional tattoo apprenticeships can be intimidating, inconsistent, and often complex to break into. But we do things differently at Ink Different. Through our partnership with Planet Artz Studio, you’ll get real mentorship, real training, and a clear path to becoming a professional Tattoo Artist.
Hands-On

At Planet Artz, you won’t be stuck cleaning floors or just “watching and waiting.” You’ll learn how to:
- Set up and break down tattoo stations.
- Practice on fake skin before moving to real clients.
- Master linework, shading, color theory, and more.
- Understand bloodborne pathogen safety and sanitation.
Build your professional portfolio under expert guidance.
Learn from Milwaukee’s Best: Jai Romel
With over 15 years of tattooing experience, Jai Romel is a master of cover-ups, realism, color work, and neo-traditional style. But his artistic foundation goes far beyond tattooing.
Armed with a Master of Fine Arts, a background in oil painting, photography, and even carpentry, Jai blends the precision of fine art with the bold impact of tattoo design. As your mentor, he’ll help you:
- Refine your technical tattoo skills.
- Explore your creative voice.
- Learn how to think like a visual artist, on skin.
