Each episode dissects a specific transaction, from sourcing to exit, using real numbers, term sheets, and public filings. The show serves founders weighing an offer, analysts building models, and investors tracking the industry. Expect critical discussions on valuation multiples, earnouts, debt covenants, and the cultural friction between PE operators and portfolio-company management. Lucas, a journalist with a decade covering dealmaking, guides the numbers; Luna, an engaged interlocutor, presses on execution risk and founder psychology. Together they ask: What separates a value-destroying roll-up from a platform that compounds for a decade? No hype, no jargon — just the tradecraft of buying and scaling businesses. #PrivateEquity #LBO #RollUp #BuyAndBuild #PE #DueDiligence #Valuation #MergersAndAcquisitions #FamilyBusinessExit #SearchFund #EBITDA #DealSourcing #SMB #BusinessAcquisition #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T04:18:12.773861+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630"},"episode":{"title":"Private Equity Is Buying Up Tattoo Studios","slug":"private-equity-is-buying-up-tattoo-studios","published_at":"2026-06-15T04:34:18+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/private-equity-is-buying-up-tattoo-studios","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0053.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0053.mp3","summary":"Episode 53 of The Buyout Show with Fexingo. Private equity is quietly consolidating the tattoo industry, rolling up independent studios into multi-location chains. Lucas and Luna look at the numbers behind the trend: the estimated $3 billion U.S. tattoo market, the rise of chains like World Famous Ink and Tattoo Culture, and why PE firms see recurring revenue in a once-fragmented artisan trade. They break down the model — centralized supply chains, standardized pricing, and the tension with tattoo culture. And they ask: does a corporate-owned shop change the art? A tight, specific look at an unlikely buyout target. #PrivateEquity #TattooIndustry #RollUpStrategy #BusinessAcquisitions #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TattooStudios #WorldFamousInk #TattooCulture #Consolidation #ArtisanEconomy #RecurringRevenue #SupplyChain #Standardization #CultureClash #InvestmentThesis #BuyoutShow #Fexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 53 of The Buyout Show with Fexingo.
