It’s been a hot minute since I’ve reappeared… so it feels right to reintroduce myself- to all the beautiful new faces, and my loyal day ones šŸ™šŸŖ½

My name is Stephanie, I’m 28, and I take intensive pride in creating confidence through natural, refined Permanent Make-Up. A little about me…

I’ve been working since the very (and definitely illegal) age of 13. From 18–26, 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 ā€œsecureā€ 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 down…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 shouldn’t scream ā€œI’ve been tattooedā€ā€¦it should have people asking, ā€œwait… what has she done?ā€ No two faces are the same and your tattoo shouldn’t be either.

So if you like your results customised, intentional, and a little bit elite… Inked By Iris is for you šŸ¤ I truly hope, in sharing my journey… you choose to share yours with me. Stephanie xo

Blessing your feed with the juiciest Lip Neutralisation āœØšŸ¤ So let’s talk; Lip Blush vs Lip Neutralisation (because not everyone is a blush girly)!

Lip Blush: Your go-to if your lips are pale pink, peachy, or light n**e. We’re enhancing what’s already there; adding colour, definition, and that fresh, glossy ā€œaliveā€ look. Think glow up, not correction.

Lip Neutralisation; for my honeys with deeper tones. Brown, purple, or grey hues (super common in melanin-rich lips or my tan-easy babes ). We don’t slap pink on top and hope for the best… we correct the base FIRST, then build to your dream shade.

The difference? Lip Blush = a little ooooomph šŸ’…
Neutralisation = correction before the glow up ✨

This babe had a Lip Neutralisation completed. We lifted and warmed the lips to restore that healthy blush tone. Yes, it starts warmer (a little šŸŠ moment ), but settles into that soft rosy coral within days.

And let’s just take a moment for her amazing attention in following her pre-care šŸ‘šŸ¼ hydrated lips = better retention, cleaner borders, and those extra mm’s on the vermillion? Say less.

✨ Good lips aren’t rushed… they’re built angels. DM to find out which service would be suited for you. MWA xx

For the love of a Combination Brow šŸ¤ŒšŸ»šŸ¤ Feathered fronts; reinforced ends- it’s the tattoo that gives. A stunning tattoo for an absolute babe ✨

Combination Brows are the marriage of synthetic hair strokes and ombrĆ© ends. Perfect for those lacking consistency in hair growth- especially in the fronts. This honey ā€˜had’ minimal growth of hair in the front; it’s fair to say we definitely changed that.

This gorgeous tattoo will heal 40-60% lighter and final results with be evident at 6-8 weeks. You can thank me later and book in the bio šŸ‘¼ xx

Say yes to Lip Blush angels; say yes šŸ‘¼šŸ«¦šŸ’„āœØ

This stunner had a previous lip tattoo completed years ago and was ready for refinement & colour adjustment. We effortlessly saturated her lips with a gorgeous rosewood pink; to compliment her eye & hair colour. Yes my love- we take into account ALL the fine details to make you the best version of YOURSELF. No two faces are the same; nor should your tattoo be.

Think: Naturally fuller lips. Enhanced borders. A gorgeous flush of colour tailored to your unique attributes. Results that are smudge and waterproof. And yes- the addition of a free complimentary confidence boost .. This is your sign to stop overlining and start investing ✨

April is fully booked sweet angels! With a few spots remaining at the end of May. Don’t be shy, come and say hi. Booking L ink in the bio above sweetsšŸ¤ MWA xx

If your brows are giving blue/ grey undertones… we’re not covering it. We’re correcting it šŸ’™šŸ¦‹šŸ§”šŸŠ

When old pigment fades, the warm molecules break down first- leaving behind cooler blue/grey tones in the skin. Brow Neutralisation works by applying a warm, complementary corrective pigment to rebalance the undertone. Restoring its true shade and being able to make alterations to the overall colour long term. Yes- it’s actually that simple (unless we find removing it first will rule in your favour šŸ¤šŸ«¶šŸ¼).

Science > Guesswork.
Colour theory > Going darker.

Neutralise first. Perfect later. Our client was able to achieve a high end neutralisation with extra hair strokes to make them more natural. She followed her pre-care so well- The results speak for themselves. You know where to find me to achieve your brow goals. Let’s make the old- new. Stephanie š“š‘œ

The power of the brow āœ”ļø Princess results say it all. Snatched- defined- facial balance. Eyebrows are more than just replacing sparseness and loss of hair; they’re made to frame you.

Facial harmony is ever so important and it should be your artists top priority to ensure your individual attributes are highlighted- not made to look like someone else’s.

Still obsessing over the B&A. Results will heal slightly cooler and match the base tone of her hair and complement her eye colour. Your turn next angel? LINK IN BIO. Stephanie šŸ¤šŸŖ½
