Ink Different is a nationwide tattoo community built to elevate tattooing as a craft, a career, and a culture. We operate as a parent company to multiple specialized brands, including a tattoo apprenticeship program, a professional tattoo studio network, and a film & television production company — all united by shared standards of excellence.

Ink Different itself is not a single tattoo shop. Instead, we are the parent organization behind Inked 4 Life Tattoos, a nationwide network of professional tattoo artists and studios that serve clients directly. This structure allows us to maintain consistent standards while supporting artists and clients across the country.

Each Ink Different brand serves a distinct role:

Ink Different’s Nationwide Tattoo Apprenticeship Program trains aspiring artists.

Inked 4 Life Tattoos serves tattoo clients nationwide.

Ink Different Productions creates film and television content rooted in tattoo culture

Together, they form a complete ecosystem — education, service, and storytelling — all built from within the tattoo industry.

Ink Different serves three primary audiences:

Aspiring tattoo artists seeking a structured, real-world career path

Tattoo clients looking for trusted, professional artists

Media partners and networks seeking authentic tattoo-centered storytelling

Each group is supported through a dedicated Ink Different brand.

Partnership opportunities vary depending on your goals. Artists, studio owners, media professionals, and brand partners can explore collaboration through our individual brands or contact Ink Different directly to discuss alignment, production, or expansion opportunities.
