The tattoo artist who created the design,Helena Gifford, is also one of Burris' best friends.
“We had the best time,” Burris tells PEOPLE. “I made a Saltburn playlist and we just jammed out. She is insanely talented so all I did was provide my skin for a canvas.”
She continues: “I think the grave scene is such a beautiful depiction of grief and romance; loving and missing someone so much that you’re naked in the soil of their grave because that’s the closest you can ever be to them again. There’s something so raw and primal about that, it resonated with me a lot and that’s what inspired me to get it tattooed.”
Since posting the TikTok Burris has gotten mixed opinions about the tattoo online. “you did not.,” one person wrote on her TikTok.

But regardless of other people’s thoughts, Burris doesn’t have any regrets.
“I feel like people’s reactions to my tattoo have kind of been like marmite, similar toSaltburnitself, the girls who get it get it,” Burris says. “A lot of people are really upset about it, one man was ‘put off his tea and crumpets’ when he saw it, one woman would ‘expect it coming from someone called Cheyenne,’ another said I should be deported.”
Those closest to Burris, however, have only offered their support.
“My family and friends have been so supportive, we all find it very funny how mad everyone is about it,” she adds. “I’ve also had an outpouring of positive messages, people saying I got the tattoo they were too afraid to get. The feedback’s been very mixed, but I adore the tattoo and what it means to me, so that’s all that really matters.”
