Medusa Ink LLC | Application Preview
Medusa Ink LLC is applying for government grants to fund a new space build-out. The funding will cover costs for drywall installation, creating new rooms with divider walls, constructing a lofted area, adding light fixtures, purchasing furniture and storage solutions, bathroom renovations, and plumbing work.
The business plan includes hiring a team of six women and relocating to a larger facility to facilitate growth. The owner aims to continue educating clients in her specialty and plans to launch an online shop featuring her own supply line once the expansion is complete.
The application emphasizes a strong track record of success, including rapid growth from having no clients to being fully booked within two months. The owner is recognized as the second most followed artist in her state and is driven by an ambition for continual improvement and brand recognition.
Rather than viewing others as competition, the owner believes there’s a unique artist for every individual. Medusa Ink's competitive edge lies in being a women-owned tattoo shop that caters exclusively to a female clientele, creating a welcoming and homely environment. The owner prioritizes building relationships with clients before their appointments, ensuring they feel comfortable and cared for, which sets the shop apart in the industry.

Business Plan
I will be hiring a team of 6 girls, locating to a larger space to give the room to grow, and continue teaching education in my speciality to be able to continue growing my brand. I plan to start an online shop of my own supply line as well once all is settled with an expansion. I have always accomplished everything I have put my mind to. I started my business with 0 clients and an empty room, and within 2 months was fully booked out and able to quit my full time job. I am the 2nd most followed artist in my state and I am never satisfied with anything I accomplish, there is always more room for growth and I am focused on building a brand that people will remember.

Self Identified Competition
I don’t look at any other artists as competitors. There is an artist out there for everyone I am women owned and operated tattoo shop. I strictly have a women clientele, and have built a safe space for all to join. My space truly feels like home when you walk in and a place you can come to hang out. You leave my space feeling like you’re leaving your family’s home. I create a true connection with every one of my clients before they even enter my space by building a relationship prior to appointments when working on their artwork so they feel much more comfortable before coming in.
