It’s the rare person who figures out what they want to do with their lives from a young age. Jon “the Piercer” Salzer, with his dream of becoming a math professor who would ride his bike to work everyday, was one of them.

 

But then he changed his mind

 

Jon was introduced to body arts by his bass guitar teacher in middle school, and his interest only grew from there. After spending some time studying at FSCJ, he gave in to his dream and cashed out his school funds in order to start a body piercing apprenticeship at Todd Lake Tattoo Studio in 2008.​

​

In March 2016, Jon and his wife, Georgie, decided to join forces and create a shop that encompassed their loves: body piercing, art, literature, family, and community. The following year was filled with battles, heartache, loss, laughter, learning, and growth.

​

And now Jon's here, at Pure Imagination Arts, still laughing, still learning, still growing, and loving every second of it all.

​

And he gets to ride his bike to work everyday.
