About Us

When I started in insurance, people judged me for my tattoos and didn’t think I fit the part. I saw the same bias toward tattoo shops and I wanted to bridge that gap.

InkShopGuard was founded as the passion project for Shawn Woedl, CEO of National Real Estate Insurance Group and REInsurePro, a national insurance program manager. The program combines his expertise in building insurance solutions for niche risks with his passion for ink. Recognizing that tattoo and piercing shops have historically struggled to find adequate insurance coverage due to negative perceptions of the industry, Shawn set out to change things. 

Shawn’s relationships with top-rated insurance carriers allows REInsurePro to provide access to exclusive programs for unique and specialized property types across the country, like InkShopGuard.
