The tattoo industry has grown every single year for over a decade.
It's not slowing down. And the people supplying it have been quietly printing cash.
One of those suppliers is exiting. After 15 years. After retirement. Not distress — the business is healthy, profitable, and ready for a new operator.
Here's the investment case:
The business:
Professional tattoo & body art supply distributor. B2B wholesale + direct e-commerce. National shipping. Local delivery. Proprietary branded product line. Loyal recurring customer base. 10,347 sq ft of operational infrastructure. 4 employees. Lease secured through 2029.
The financials (2025 actuals):
📊 Revenue: $2.87M
💰 Owner earnings (SDE): $559K
📈 EBITDA: $459K
🏷️ Asking price: $2.3M (~4.1× SDE)
📦 $463K in inventory included
Why this niche wins:
Artists and studios don't buy supplies once. They restock constantly. That's consumable-based, recurring demand — the kind that doesn't disappear in a recession or reverse because of a trend. The tattoo industry has mainstream acceptance now. The professional base is growing. The supply side is still fragmented. A distributor with a recognized brand and 15 years of relationships sits in the most defensible position in the chain.
The upside the current owner left on the table:
The e-commerce channel is active and undermarketed — no SEO, no paid media, no email automation. The private label line is recognized but underdeveloped. Geographic expansion is available without rebuilding anything. Demonstrated unmet demand is documented in the listing. These aren't aspirational projections — they're gaps a motivated operator can close.
Who this is for:
Strategic acquirer. E-commerce operator. Search fund or lower-MM PE. Industry insider. Roll-up buyer. First-time acquirer with operating experience and capital.
