Initially seen as a disruptor in the tattoo industry over a decade ago when he began the creation of what is now Ink Different Tattoos, Paul-Anthony’s experience in the music and film industries fueled his passion to help ensure that everyone has an opportunity to make a living from their art. His entrepreneurial adventures as a member of the Young Entrepreneur Council lead to being a contributor in Forbes , Inc. and Huffington Post , yet the coverage he received in Billboard Magazine for his work inspiring women to vote and winning a Los Angeles Film Award for screenwriting, are the kinds of passion projects that keep focused in the arts.

His personal mission to empower a world where children can grow up knowing that their dreams can come true, have kept him focused on Ink Different’s ability to succeed on its company mission, regardless of the initial resistance in the tattoo industry to equal access to education, and of course, the challenges of surviving a global

pandemic where every location was forced to shut its doors.

Now on the other side of all of those experiences, Paul-Anthony and the team at Ink Different find themselves equipped with the experience and good fortune to be at the forefront of an industry that is professionalizing itself in new ways, and provide opportunities for artists that they desperately need. While we all know artificial intelligence has the potential to create massive job losses around the world, Paul-Anthony doesn’t think we’ll be trusting a robot to a four-hour tattoo session on anyone’s ribs, any time soon.
