Dragons’ Den TrackerWhat Happened to Heal Ink After Dragons’ Den?
Heal Ink appeared on Dragons’ Den in 2014, Series 11 Episode 12. The business was a tattoo aftercare oil. No deal was made — the Dragons decided not to invest. The company was dissolved in 2013.
The Pitch
Nathan Lightbody walked into the Den in 2014 with a tattoo aftercare oil. They were asking for N/A.
Despite their best efforts, the pitch didn’t convince the Dragons to open their wallets.
The Deal
No deal was made. The Dragons weren’t persuaded to invest, and Nathan Lightbody left the Den without backing.
What Happened After the Show
Heal Ink did not survive long-term. The company was dissolved in 2013 — just a year after appearing on the show.
This is not an unusual outcome. The majority of businesses that appear on Dragons’ Den, deal or no deal, don’t make it in the long run. The show can provide a platform and capital, but it can’t substitute for a sustainable business model.
Is Heal Ink Still in Business?
No. Heal Ink is no longer in business. Companies House records show the company has been dissolved.
