Meet Our Founder
Paul-Anthony Surdi
Our journey began with Paul-Anthony Surdi, a visionary who challenged industry norms over a decade ago by founding what is now Ink Different Tattoos. With roots in the music and film industries, Paul-Anthony’s passion for the arts fueled his desire to create opportunities for artists everywhere. His entrepreneurial spirit earned him features in Forbes, Inc., and Huffington Post, but it’s his work empowering creatives — from inspiring women to vote to winning a Los Angeles Film Award for screenwriting — that truly defines his legacy.
Through economic shifts, industry skepticism, and even a global pandemic, Paul-Anthony’s relentless drive to make tattoo education accessible has kept Ink Different thriving. His belief? While technology evolves, tattooing will always require the human touch. After all, who would trust a robot to ink a four-hour rib piece?
Shaping the Future of Tattooing
Today, we stand at the forefront of a rapidly evolving industry, ready to provide artists with the opportunities they need to succeed. Our network of experienced mentors, high-end studios, and a growing community of passionate creatives makes Become a Tattoo Artist not just a platform, but a movement.
If you’re ready to turn your art into a career, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Let’s shape the future of tattooing — together.
