The New Way to Get Tattoos with Maria & Pete Joukov EP 023

Given their work in the military, it almost seems unlikely that my two guests would start a tattoo franchise. They have identified a growing mainstream market and are taking a fresh approach to appeal to these customers. Maria Joukov is the CEO and co-founder of inq Tattoos. Maria’s career started in the Department of Defense, where she supported high priority accounts for the US military, Intelligence Community, and lawmakers. Maria then launched a boutique consulting company that serves the US Intelligence Community and has employees in multiple states. Pete Joukov is Co-Founder of inq Tattoos. Pete served in the Navy for five years and completed multiple deployments, leading military personnel on five continents. After leaving military service, Pete led a strategic cybersecurity planning initiative in the Pentagon that spanned the entire Department of Defense, and later led teams of consultants and engineers at NetApp. In our conversation, we spoke about: ·        Meeting the mainstream market’s expectations. ·        The reasoning behind the clean, sterile boutique feel. ·        Designing customized tattoos. ·        A franchise model with full support and attention to detail. ·        Teaching the franchisee about digital marketing and supplying templates. ·        The veteran’s preference program.
