ERICA FORSTER

ARTIST

I have always loved art, drawing and painting. I did A level Art in sixth form then went to college to study Art. To learn about tattooing I did a tattoo course to teach me about machines and health and safety where I had to tattoo myself at the end of the 2 week course this taught me a lot about where I needed to start. I carried on my journey when I did an apprenticeship in a tattoo studio in Croydon. I tattooed myself and my friends from home to build my confidence. I got my first tattoo done at Avinit in 2020 when I told Warren I wanted to be a tattoo artist at that time the studio was already full. A year later went by and I reached out to Avinit tattoo to ask about a position 2 years later I’m still here and could ask for a better place to work. It’s a pleasure to work with with such like minded individuals who are supportive and always willing to help. I would say my style is a mix of blackwork, dot work, mandalas and fine line.
