Amba Lay

If a little ink is your preference, you’re in for a treat. Amba Lay is downright dangerous. Far from your ordinary pretty face, there’s simply no taming a dame like Amba: whether it’s her killer looks or her kick-ass attitude, there’s plenty to love about this ridiculously sexy rock star.

And she’s got the credentials to back it up. Amba has graced covers, including two turns as the US cover girl of Vanquish Tattoo Magazine in 2017, and she’s pulled it off while doing makeup as a side hustle. Fitting, really, for a woman who’ll happily set the record straight on one point: ladies love their makeup, so don’t go telling them they look better without it.

Here’s the twist. The inked temptress who gets a kick out of every shoot and event she books grew up a shy, quiet kid, and she’ll cheerfully admit to a touch of awkwardness even now. Self-belief has been a journey, she says, and she’s come a long way since those early days. These days she likes her life balanced: a wild weekend out, followed by a quiet one in to recover. She looks up to strong, independent women, and it’s safe to say she’s well on her way to being one of them.

Covers, makeup or the party-girl lifestyle she’s become accustomed to, Amba Lay is ready to rock your world. In the interview below she reveals a fear you’ll never guess, her childhood dream job and her idea of the perfect man, and the photos back up every word.
