The tattoo industry coup continues as the educational mastermind and master teacher behind Master Tattoo Institute and Oriana Tattoo Academy, Gabe Jaksich, takes a stand for integrity and decency with the launch of an 8-Week Intensive Traditional Tattoo Apprenticeship in Miami, Florida.

MIAMI, FLORIDA (March 21, 2024) – Ink Different Tattoo School proudly announces the launch of Gabe Jaksich’s 8-Week Intensive Traditional Tattoo Apprenticeship Program, aimed at aspiring Tattoo Artists seeking comprehensive, full immersion training from the direct source of the tattoo education revolution in South Florida.

“Gabe is the master,” shares Ink Different’s Paul-Anthony Surdi, “he was the mastermind behind our only real competition in tattoo education in Florida, and they (Master Tattoo Institute and Oriana) messed up by trying to exploit his unique ability to care for the future of the tattoo industry.”

Gabe Jaksich goes one step further, blowing the whistle, in detail, on his prior employers. “The guy teaching at Oriana is not even a tattoo artist. At Master Tattoo Institute, they have students teach students. It’s a joke,” shares Gabe.

With his four decades of experience as a tattoo artist and over a decade of experience as a licensed teacher, Mr. Jaksich meticulously designed his 8-Week Intensive Traditional Tattoo Apprenticeship Program to provide apprentices with training in traditional tattoo techniques, history, ethics, business management, and the skills they need to start tattooing for a living.

Gabe Jaksich’s 8-Week Intensive Traditional Tattoo Apprenticeship at Ink Different Tattoo School will blend traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques, and ensure that each graduate becomes a licensed tattoo artist by the time they finish the program.

The inaugural term starts this April, and Mr. Jaksich is limiting his apprentice body to only five trainees. “This is my life’s work. This is what I love to do,” shares Gabe. “These apprentices are going to get the very best of me, one-on-one, no online, all in the studio. It’s going to be intense, and they’re going to love it.”

As Mr. Jaksich mentions, this program will be completely in-person. Nothing will be taught virtually or online.

“For the people who are serious about becoming a tattoo artist, and want to learn from one of the innovators and now godfathers of tattoo education,” shares Paul-Anthony, “All they need to do is set aside two intense, focused months to drink from the firehose, and their lives will never be the same.”
