MEET TARA AND THE TEAM

OUR STORY

Hey friends! I’m Tara, and I’m the owner of Iris Alcoves, (formerly known as Forever Linked Gainesville.)️  

Yes! I rebranded and moved locations all at once!  

After 15 years in dentistry and stepping into motherhood, I discovered permanent jewelry—and I’ve been hooked ever since.  

When I first learned about it, I wanted to get it myself but couldn’t find anywhere local without having to book a party or search for a pop-up. That’s when I realized Gainesville needed a permanent, full-service location for this fun and meaningful experience.

Kind Words

  • Bianca M.

    “I wouldn’t think twice about booking the appointment to get permanent jewelry. I came in to get one with my boyfriend and was in absolute awe of the place and the experience. It was very special.”

  • Rebecca S.

    “Iris Alcoves is my go to spot for permanent jewelry! I got my first bracelet a couple of years ago, and recently added another one. When I added my most recent bracelet, Tara was also more than happy to clean my older one, which obviously needed some love and cleaning. Every time I get a new bracelet or service from Iris Alcoves, it’s a fabulous experience. Can’t wait for my next piece. I definitely won’t be going anywhere else for my permanent jewelry. :)”

  • Alecia T.

    “I booked a visit at Forever Linked for a surprise Galentine’s day treat for my mom, sister and I. This was all of our first permanent jewelry experience and WE ARE HOOKED! Tara was just so warm and welcoming from the start that we felt like long time friends and just made the appointment so stinking fun! She helped us decide on pieces that we absolute loved and made sure we left there happy (which we did)! We can’t wait to book another appointment with Tara :) 11 out of 10 recommend this business!!”

    “When I say 5 stars ✨is no where adequate for the immeasurable kindness, service and quality that we received from forever linked !! We have family who have used and recommended her but when I made the decision from out of town to commemorate my Dad's first memorial service with bracelets of those closest to him . Tara was quick, efficient, and beyond phenomenal to make this process happen. Her staff is amazing , the facilities and choices are outstanding and I simply can't say enough . I will forever recommend brag and scream Forever Linked is #1 potentially in the country . It's well worth a 4 hour drive there is NO disappointment !! Keep up your passion it truly shows !! 💗”

  • Regan B.

    “I can't even begin to explain how wonderful Tara is!! I had NO knowledge of eyebrows when I went in. Tara took the time to explain the different styles and how they would look, and even showed examples. We settled on Nano brows and I LOVE the look! They look so natural and exactly what I was looking for! She added shape, volume, and filled in my patchy areas. I'm so excited with how they look and so glad I chose her; she is so knowledgeable and talented. She also is all about you, she's not going to rush and she actually listens to what you want and what she knows will work for your vision. I seriously cannot sing her praises enough!”

  • Copenhaver Crew

    “Tara provided a wonderful experience and I am thrilled with my results! I have always been self-conscious about my uneven eyebrows but too nervous to have anything done to them. After meeting Tara I knew I was in the right hands and she exceeded my expectations. My eyebrows are perfect and I have received so many compliments on my natural nanobrows. I definitely recommend her services!!!”
