For 15 years now, Rain has been working not just for the money, but for the love of a great tattoo. A self-entitled "scanner/copier" , Rain's style is YOUR style. Inspired by the hard time she had finding someone who would agree to do her tiny, detailed fairy tattoo as a teenager., she specializes now in just that. The light hand thin lines required to pull off insanely small details. Always a perfectionist, her exactness is exactly what you want for portraits or logos. She prides herself on tattoos that flake lightly for a few days and allow you to avoid the risks associated with the healing time and aftercare.
On at Forbidden Art for two years now, Dillon still excludes the cool California calm he was raised with amongst the Redwood trees of Humbolt County. Coming up as a graffiti artist gone painter gone tattooist, Dillon has an affinity for art in its many mediums. Traditional, Americana, Abstract + Line Heavy designs are what perk his interest; But more than anything he wants his clients walking away stoked on the art + atmosphere provided to them. "Tattoos are special", they are interperated expressions of an individual's history + philosophy. A reflection of their own human experience".

Joe, more than just the owner of the shop, Joe is the face of tattooing in New Orleans. It's been that way for decades. When a traveler starts thinking of a tattoo as a souveneir from our fine city, they are hopefully directed to Foedidden Art for our solid, long time reputation. Sometimes these people are not the usual tattoo type, + understandably anxious to check out a shop. But thanks to Joe, those who dare to brave the front door are rewarded with an antmosphere they would never have expected. Joe is inarguably a businessman, but when it comes to making you comfortable there's no one like him. Your best interest IS HIS best interest. Although all his consulting, prep, and design is complementary, he never tries to rush you into making a decision. He has been in the game longer than almost anyone in the city and his experience is not only priceless to his clients, but something he believes in. He also believes in affordably sharing with others serious in trying to make tattooing their career as well.

Another proud product of New Orleans, Trey has been a sketch artist all of his life. Six years ago, Trey took one art form to another + began tattooing, with the instruction + apprenticeship from a local New Orleanian tattoo legend + friend. Since he has flourished as a black + grey artist, loving to go big with his pieces, he provides an experience to his customers so that they become "repeat offenders". Often described as the "grumpy goose", Trey's the level headed one here at Forbidden Art. Always maintaining professional order even when some of his more animated compatriots are afoot with their own antics.
