From Script to Screen - Potential story ideas

Idea 1:

A tattoo artist is having a slow day in their shop, so is sweeping the floors. In the background is the radio, the artist switches between radio stations when one in particular catches their attention. The artist finishes listening to the song and finds out it’s from a musical. The artist checks local theaters to find out if there is a performance showing there. After months of waiting they finally get tickets to see the musical. However, going to the theater was new to the tattoo artist, so he tries to educate himself on the right attire and find theater glasses. They succeed in finding the appropriate wear but only manage to find a magnifying glass to work as theater glasses. Once at the theater some of the audience give strange looks at the artist finding it weird that someone with lots of tattoos is interested in a musical. The stereotyping and judgmental eyes make the artist uncomfortable but nonetheless they carry on. The artist arrives at their seat, amazed by his surroundings and even starts a conversation with others around him. Some take an interest in the artists work and body art, then proceed to enjoy the musical

Idea 2:

Tattoo artist arrives home from work and is greeted by their partner, who is excited about a theater production that they’re both going to see that night. The artist having no interest in theater acts with no interest and mocks his partner. The mocking and teasing continues on the way to the theater slowly agitating their partner. The two find their seats and sit down ready for the performance. The artist was so reluctant to be there that they heckle and disturb other theater goers. The parented being fed up and embarrassed leaves the theater. The artist finally considering his partners feelings chases after them but is not given a response. The next day when artist return home from work they show a new tattoo they had done, it was of a magnifying glass a key prop to their partners favorite theater production.

Idea 3:

Client comes in to get a magnifying glass tattoo because it relates to their favorite theater production. The tattoo artist has had no interest in theater and scoffs at the client, jokingly mocking them. The client then goes on to encourage the artist to see the production, and goes as far as to offer to see it with them. The artist accepts but seems to be reluctant until the two reach their seats. Once seated the artist begins to understand what his client had been talking about just from the atmosphere. However, once the actual performance starts the artist is even more blown away and starts to enjoy themselves. Which has now sparked a new interest for them and resulted in a new friendship.

Most of these are very clean cut, but these were just some first ideas. I would also like to look at the possibility of having the location be a movie theater rather than a musical one.
