Hey, I'm
Forist Amber

My work is rooted in realism, always filtered through my own personal style. I like blending rap subculture and nostalgic 90s pop culture with classic tattoo traditions. I enjoy creating bold, timeless tattoos just as much as pushing ideas into something more playful, unexpected, or slightly surreal.

Outside of tattooing, painting is an important part of how I explore ideas, colour, and mood. Tattooing has guided my painting both technically and emotionally, and that freedom feeds back into my tattoo work. Every project is a collaboration.

I'm inspired by travel, music, cartoons, quiet moments like cold plunges in wintery lakes, and the technical practice and process of creating itself.

I work in Finnish and English, attend conventions, and regularly do guest spots — keep an eye out for opportunities to get tattooed near you.

FAQ
How do I book a tattoo? +
Send an email or DM on Instagram with your idea, placement, size, and any reference images. I'll get back to you to discuss availability and next steps.
What styles do you work in? +
Colour realism, black and grey realism, portrait work (human and animal), graffiti-influenced tattoos, and chicano style. I often blend elements depending on the concept.
What is your day rate? +
My day rate is €700–800. Smaller pieces are priced individually based on size and complexity. Get in touch for an estimate on your specific idea.
Where are you based? +
Based in London but I travel regularly for guest spots and conventions across Europe and beyond. Check Upcoming Locations above or follow me on Instagram for real-time updates.
Do you take custom designs? +
Yes — custom work is most of what I do. Come with a rough idea, a mood board, or just a feeling and we'll work it out together. I also take on larger, evolving sleeve or body projects.
How far in advance do I need to book? +
For London bookings, 4–8 weeks is typical. For guest spots in other cities, get in touch as soon as a location is announced — spots fill quickly.
Do you attend conventions? +
Yes. I attend tattoo conventions across Europe regularly. Follow on Instagram or sign up to the mailing list to be notified when I'm in your city.
