Ink Different’s “2023 State-By-State Definitive Guide to Tattoo Laws in the United States,” is yet another helpful contribution to aspiring and new tattoo artists nationwide.
“We’ve learned a lot over the last decade plus of opening tattoo studios across the country,” shares Paul-Anthony Surdi, owner of Ink Different Tattoo. “Every state is different. Often every city or county in a state views tattooing differently, and has different rules for licensing. As we plan our growth, we do this kind of research ourselves, so we thought it would be helpful to share a definitive guide for every State in the United States, as a resource for tattoo artists.”
As the operator of the only nationwide tattoo school and tattoo apprenticeship program in the United States for over a decade, the team at Ink Different Tattoos has learned everything there is to know about opening, operating, and sustaining tattoo studios.
“Most people who get tattoos have no idea what being a licensed tattoo artist in their city means when it come to safety and ability,” shares Paul-Anthony, “and next to no one, other than tattoo apprentices or working tattoo artists, have any idea how easy or difficult it is to obtain a local tattoo license and what that means for the health and safety of the client.”
For this reason, and as a result of their unique point of view as tattoo shop, tattoo school and tattoo apprenticeship operators in California, Connecticut, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania, and very soon Illinois, Ink Different Tattoos is once again helping aspiring tattoo artist understand what it takes to be successful in the tattoo industry by releasing their “2023 State-By-State Definitive Guide to Tattoo Laws in the United States.”

“It’s an absolutely wonderful time to be and to become a tattoo artist,” shares Paul-Anthony, “When you consider the freedom, the fulfillment, the income and the fact that artificial intelligence is quickly putting artists who work in digital formats, out of work, there’s never been a better time than now to focus your artistic abilities on a physical art form.”
