PROPOSAL BY: SofiaCoppola Resident

GROUP NAME: Kink Ink

TYPE: Tattoo Parlour/Piercing Studio

SLURL: Teleport

BACKSTORY: Kink Ink is already an existing business in Crimson Avenue. I've been hanging around it for a while now and haven't seen much RP involvement with it. I'd like to apply for the management position and hopefully get Kink Ink more involved in the DE RP. 1 - set up something with the recruitment agency to try to get more people working there. 2 - make up notecards with some general info on how to carry out tattoo/piercing RP. 3 - IC events/promotions to try to draw people in. Who can say no to cheap tattoos/piercings? 4 - Once a solid work force has been established, i'd like to maybe take the behind the scenes work at Kink Ink into a more dark direction. I've got a few ideas, but nothing definite yet.

UNIQUE: It'll be the place for all the thugs,hipsters,innocents getting secret modifications etc to go for all their tattoo/piercing needs! We'll have only the highest trained workers with proved work history/portfolios. We could maybe offer an IC intern type scenario where we could train people up to a high standard? AND - it'll be the most hygienic place in DE!

EXP:I have a solid RP History, in DE especially. This character is an alt and I have been on SL on and off for 2/3 years. I've RPd all types of situations and i'm just looking for something different for now. I'm bored of being the damsel in distress and feel like this would be the next step for me in RP terms. As this character is fairly new - i'm not too well known around DE (yet), but having a business to promote would be a good way to get this particular character established on sim.

IDEAS:At first I would like to see Kink Ink start off as a legit, trouble free business. But as more people start to get involved I would like to consider setting up some sort of trouble for the employees/customers. I know a lot of the businesses here have/had gang typed things going on behind the scenes which is a possibility, but i'd like to try and think of something a bit different. Unfortunately, I just got laid off from my job in real life, so i'm going to have a lot of spare time that I can spend on here. That time would be spent building up/developing the business IC and also by making myself available to support anyone whos having trouble/any questions OOC.

OTHER:This would be my first time managing a business in SL, so if i'm at least considered - i'd love some feedback/advice/ideas. Thanks.
