About your Artist: MANDY TAPURAU

 Talofa lava!


As a proud Samoan and New Zealand-born scalp micro pigmentation (SMP) artist,

 I have established Phantom Ink SMP in my hometown of Auckland, New Zealand. My journey began with informative training through Inkd SMP, which equipped me with the skills to specialize in scalp micro pigmentation techniques that create natural and realistic-looking results.


My passion for the industry stems from a deep desire to help the people of Aotearoa regain confidence in their hair loss journey. I understand the impact hair loss can have on an individual’s self-esteem.


Throughout my career, I have always stayed true to my down-to-earth vibe. I bring my unique style and creative flair, never shying away from being my authentic self. 

I believe that this personal touch allows me to connect with my client’s individual needs, working to ensure we achieve the best outcome in a relaxed, friendly, and professional environment. 

Always striving to establish a comfortable space where clients can openly express their concerns and expectations, knowing they are in capable and caring hands.


Phantom Ink SMP is not just a business for me; it’s a platform for me to make a meaningful impact on people’s lives. By helping clients regain their confidence and embrace their unique style.
