Tattoo Shop Owner

FINH HAS A PLAN Finh Lee has been tattooing since he was fourteen. He ran away, dropped out of school, fell in with an older crowd, started putting ink into real skin far too young and somehow turned it into a life. Years later, he has landed on San Eloria with another shop, a busted sports car, messy finances and absolute confidence that this is finally the one that turns him into a billionaire. Tattoo Shop Owner throws you into Finh’s latest attempt to keep the dream alive. Book clients, manage artists, keep supplies on the shelves, protect the shop’s reputation and make enough money to survive the next bill you probably still can't afford. In Finh’s head, this is the beginning of something enormous. He is still completely convinced he is going to make it big with the elites. Yeah, okay. LIFE DOESN’T STOP AT THE SHOP Outside the shop is San Eloria: what remains of part of Southern California after a catastrophic San Andreas Fault collapse and massive flooding ripped the region apart and left it as an island. Buy supplies at the mini mart. Grab food from the local food truck. Drink at the bar. Play pool. Watch people sing terrible drunk karaoke. Gamble your money away. Try not to get into a fight. Don't get hit by a car. Don’t wake up with a medical bill. The economy is ugly, World War III is here, and every stupid expense is fighting for the same pile of money Finh needs to get his car back and suddenly get off the island, abandon your new employees (again), and start over (again). GET THE CAR. GET OFF THE ISLAND. Finh talks like he is building a tattoo empire. Right now, he is trying to keep one shop alive. His finances are a mess, the shop is barely established, and his prized sports car is trapped at the mechanic behind a repair bill he can't take care of. Build the business. Improve what you can. Take on clients. Pay the bills. Just keep it running. Most days, Finh lives somewhere in his head believing he's already rich when in reality he's between broke and barely doing okay, balancing shop expenses, personal spending, bad decisions and whatever San Eloria decides to throw at him next. Being a billionaire should probably wait. First, make enough money somehow to pay the mechanic, get Finh’s car back and get off San Eloria so he can chase whatever "brilliant" idea comes next.
