"You grew up in a tattoo shop, but now it’s time to make your own mark."

Master the Pottery skill.
Raise a child who loves baking and dreams of making people smile with sweets.
Generation 3: Sweet (Candy Shop)

Have a child who prefers animals over people.
Generation 4: Paws (Dog or Cat Café – Co-run with Parent)
