The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections is launching an apprenticeship program at State Correctional Institution Frackville aimed at training incarcerated individuals as professional tattoo artists. The initiative seeks a licensed tattoo artist to oversee the program, offering participants structured education in the craft while addressing industry standards and safety protocols. This marks a first-of-its-kind effort in the state’s correctional system, blending vocational training with rehabilitation. The program could provide inmates with marketable skills upon release while filling a growing demand for skilled artists in the tattoo industry.
