SACRED GROUNDS TATTOO STUDIO

SALTER STUDIOS
2464 S. Highway 29, erinosheatattoos.com What inspired you to get started? I started tattooing because someone believed in me. Without that faith, I would never have pursued an art career. More recently, my close friends at Anchor Up Fitness believed in me again and supported my step away from contract work into opening my own business, Salter Studios. Now that you're established, what motivates you to keep going? I am motivated every day by the craft itself. It is a never-ending education, not only about art and color but also into human anatomy, physiology, disorders affecting my clients
and the psychology behind body alterations. What also motivates me is keeping current with health and safety procedures. If you had to define your business with just a tagline, sentence or phrase, what would it be? Community therapy through cooperative creation of meaningful art.

I am currently pursuing further education into color theory as well as mentoring practices that are the most effective to pass onto the next generation of artists.
