The Forbidden Images Tattoo Studio

“He Walked In With Something in His Car… What He Brought Left Us Speechless.” This past week at our new studio, we had one of those moments that reminds us exactly why we love what we do and the community around us.
A gentleman walked in and introduced himself as a professional photographer. He shared that a few of his friends had recommended he stop by and show us a piece he captured himself. He said he had a print in his car and asked if it would be okay to bring it in.
Of course, we said yes…
And in he came with this absolutely stunning photograph of a 13-foot alligator, captured right here in Florida. The detail, the presence, the raw beauty, it immediately spoke to us. Not just as artists, but as people who truly appreciate craftsmanship and passion.
His name is Steve Beer, and we were incredibly touched by his kindness and generosity in sharing his work with us. Moments like this don’t happen by accident, they come from genuine connection.
We had to capture the moment together.
We are beyond grateful, not just for this gesture, but for the overwhelming support from both new and longtime friends who have embraced us with open arms at our new home.
If you get a chance, please look up Steve Beer’s photography and show him some love, and let him know Forbidden Images sent you.
