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.

Flash & Wannado

Available
Flash Designs

Flash designs and wannados are pre-drawn pieces available to book — first to enquire gets them. Having flash designs on the website means people searching "flash tattoo London" or "available tattoo designs near me" can find Forist directly through Google, rather than only through Instagram. It also means your designs live permanently online, not just in a feed that scrolls away.

Browse the latest available flash on Instagram, then get in touch to claim yours before someone else does.

FAQ
How do I book a tattoo? +
Send an email or Email Me 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, street art style, and cover-ups. I often blend elements depending on the concept.
How does pricing work? +
There is a non-refundable booking fee of €150/£150 to secure your consultation. I take all clients in for a free consultation where we discuss the details, design, pricing and the tattoo day itself — just to make sure we're on the same page. If we're a good fit, we'll book in the tattoo appointment during that time. The final price depends on size, placement, complexity of the design and the session itself.
Where are you based? +
Based between London and Finland, 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? +
I announce guest spots around 3 months in advance — you can book as soon as the announcement goes out. Keep an eye on Instagram or sign up to the mailing list to be notified first.
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.
