HAPPY HEALING

Troy Story

Troy @troyslackink started his tattooing journey in 2008 in Adelaide, South Australia. A journey leading to him become one of the most-decorated and highly regarded practitioners of the craft. After years of using a trusted tattoo balm that was discontinued, the search for a replacement came up short. During the 2020 lockdowns, the idea took shape: create a better balm, inspired by the original, with a focus on quality ingredients and real studio performance.

HAPPY HEALING

Real Tattooers, really tattooing

Happy Healing wasn't created in a boardroom or by some pharmaceutical industry plant. It was developed and tested in studio with working tattooers like Jayden Pengilly @jayden.tattoo and Adam Slack @stampede_ink who gave feedback through multiple rounds of prototyping. When the consistency, performance and ingredient profile felt right, we partnered with a lab to refine the final product.

Before, During and After Care

Most products are made as a glide or aftercare. Happy Healing was developed for the complete tattooing process. Before, During and After. The smooth, melt-on-contact texture allows for comfortable application and does not clog your needles like so many others do, while the natural ingredients help keep skin soothed, moisturised, and hydrated.

HAPPY HEALING

Happy Healing. Happy Tattooing.

The feedback from artists and clients over the past few years is what keeps this project alive. Happy Healing was built to be the balm Troy wanted to use on his own clients and now it's available for artists and collectors everywhere.

TATTOOING IS HARD ENOUGH.
WHY WORRY ABOUT BEING SAD?

DON'T WORRY, GET HAPPY
