MENTAL HEALTH MEETS
YOUR NEXT TATTOO.


MEET THE TEAM 

THE OWNERS

Husband and Wife, Justin and Amanda Slay have relocated to Phoenix, ARIZONA from Wilmington, NORTH CAROLINA with their family. Justin is a 5th year tattooer specializing in black and grey realism. Amanda is in her 2nd year of tattooing, specializing in bold illustration and botanical works.

JULIANNA

Julianna is originally from Long Beach, Ca. and attributes her style and personality to being submerged in the creative and vibrant cultures of Southern California.

She has had a passion for creativity since a young age, exploring various mediums and forms of artistic
expression. She enjoys experimenting with different tattoo styles but anticipates falling under an oriental and realism style in the future!

Outside of the shop she enjoys the outdoors playing tennis and finding new hikes to explore, cooking
elaborate meals, and finding a coffee shop that offers a fun tea drink!

Julianna looks forward to many years of tattooing and creating relationships with her clients while collaborating on beautiful designs!


WHAT IS TATTOO 
THERAPY? 

Tattoos have been used medicinally for over 5000 years. Tattoos have been found to reduce cortisol levels according to the American Journal of HUMAN BIOLOGY. This improves the IMMUNE SYSTEM and also helps provide STRESS REDUCTION, enabling tattoos to be potentially useful as a method of THERAPY.

Overall, getting tattoos can be a form of self care & a tool for improving ones mental health. At Happy You’re Here we choose to embrace those aspects of tattooing the best way we know how.

See you soon,
Justin & Amanda Slay
