In Partnership with Top Rocker Tattoo and Artist Ernesto "Serv One" Rojas, Ink Different Expands Its College-Alternative Tattoo Apprenticeship to Phoenix

PHOENIX, May 15, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ink Different Tattoos is proud to announce the launch of its newest tattoo apprenticeship location in Phoenix, Arizona, in collaboration with the premier all-custom studio Top Rocker Tattoo, led by master artist and studio owner Ernesto "Serv One" Rojas. This partnership brings Ink Different's structured, real-world apprenticeship program to the heart of the Southwest, offering aspiring Tattoo Artists a clear path into a professional, AI-proof creative career.

"Ernesto Rojas has been successful because following his passion for the arts and creativity is his calling," says Paul-Anthony Surdi of Ink Different Tattoos. "He built Top Rocker Tattoo from the ground up into a very respected studio in Arizona. Apprentices here won't just learn how to tattoo; they'll learn how to see the world as a place full of possibilities."

Ernesto Rojas has cultivated a philosophy built on perpetual growth: always learning, always pushing creative boundaries. Since 2009, Top Rocker Tattoo has operated as an all-custom studio and art gallery in the Phoenix metro, drawing clients from across the country and around the world. Every artist has a minimum of 10 years of industry experience. Every piece is held to the standard of a masterwork.

A College Alternative in Phoenix

Ink Different's Tattoo Apprenticeship is designed as a structured college alternative for talented artists aspiring to become professional Tattoo Artists. Instead of taking on student debt for a four-year degree in knowledge work, apprentices learn the trade of tattooing with Ink Different and studios like Top Rocker Tattoo, receiving hands-on experience, one-on-one mentorship, and professional development over 18–24 months.

Tattooing is an AI-proof career, driven by human creativity, craftsmanship, and personal connection. With professional Tattoo Artists earning a median income of around $106,000 per year, the apprenticeship offers a practical pathway from passion to profession.

Graduates complete the program industry-ready, equipped with the skills and professionalism needed to succeed in today's tattoo industry. They receive a guaranteed job offer upon successful completion.
