Celebrating 15 Years of Ink Different Tattoos!
This July, Ink Different Tattoos turns 15
Happy July 4th, and Happy 15th birthday to us! 🎂🎆
Fifteen years ago, Ink Different Tattoos was born with one big, bold idea: that tattoo education should be accessible, real, and career-driven for artists from all walks of life. No gatekeeping. No hazing. Just genuine mentorship, solid training, and a community that has your back.
Fifteen years later? We're still that same dream, just a whole lot bigger.
A Lot Has Changed (In the Best Way)
We're not going to pretend like this has been a quiet year. Because, wow, it has NOT been a quiet year. Here's what's new as we step into year 15:
48 Locations and Counting
We've grown from 27 to 48 locations across the country. That means more artists, more communities, and more doors opening for people who never thought a career in tattooing was possible for them.
Spoiler: it is.
17 World-Class Master Mentors
Our Master Mentorship Program just keeps leveling up. We now have 17 celebrity and world-renowned Tattoo Artists in the program, training working Tattoo Artists who are ready to take their craft and their careers to the next level. These are the people you follow on Instagram. The ones whose work stops you mid-scroll. And they're here, mentoring your peers.
A Documentary in the Works: Featuring Tattoo Legend Gill Montie!
This is a big one. We're producing a documentary about tattoo legend Gill Montie, and we could not be more excited (and honored) to tell this story. More details coming soon, but trust us, you're going to want to watch this one.
50+ Episodes of the Ink Different Podcast
Our podcast, Ink Different Tattoos, has officially crossed the 50-episode milestone, including our fan-favorite segment, Convention Connection. Whether you're driving to work, cleaning your station, or just hanging out, we've got hundreds of hours of tattoo industry conversations, stories, and real talk waiting for you.
What's Never Changed
We've grown a lot, but our heart is the same. Our Traditional Tattoo Apprenticeship Program is still transforming lives, giving aspiring artists a structured, supported path from complete beginner to licensed Tattoo Artist. That's not a maybe. That's a promise.
And we're still Ink Different, even though our brand also lives under Become A Tattoo Artist, because that name means something to us. It means:
- Learning by doing, not just watching.
- Real mentorship over gatekeeping.
- Professionalism and creativity living side by side.
- A career path that's yours from day one.
- Community, not competition.

This July, we're celebrating our past and investing in your future. 🖤
