Itās been a hot minute since Iāve reappeared⦠so it feels right to reintroduce myself- to all the beautiful new faces, and my loyal day ones ššŖ½
My name is Stephanie, Iām 28, and I take intensive pride in creating confidence through natural, refined Permanent Make-Up. A little about meā¦
Iāve been working since the very (and definitely illegal) age of 13. From 18ā26, I balanced two jobs while completing my Bachelor in Animal & Veterinary Science. I opened Inked By Iris in 2023 while still figuring out where I actually wanted to be. At the same time, I was navigating an autoimmune condition⦠but when I found tattooing, everything just clicked. Quieter. Aligned.
Growing up, I was a full-blown glamour queen- kiddie heels, rings on every finger, styling everything in sight. A little diva? Absolutely. But like many of us, coming from a strict Greek family, I was guided toward a āsecureā path. University was a must. A 9-5 job was significant.
The animal industry was VERY confronting. Loving animals the way I do, the reality was heavy and over time, it wore me downā¦So I found something that felt like the opposite. I needed science⦠but I also needed art. And here we are- cosmetic tattooing is the perfect mix of both. Pigment chemistry. Skin biology. Facial harmony. Precision. Detail. A very trained eye. It was an instant YES.
Because permanent make-up shouldnāt scream āIāve been tattooedāā¦it should have people asking, āwait⦠what has she done?ā No two faces are the same and your tattoo shouldnāt be either.
So if you like your results customised, intentional, and a little bit elite⦠Inked By Iris is for you š¤ I truly hope, in sharing my journey⦠you choose to share yours with me. Stephanie xo
