About Jen Shakti
Jen Shakti is known as a modern day “tattoo shaman”. She calls her unique “medicine” or talent, Sacred Tattooing.
Along with creating the highest quality beautiful tattoo art, Jen is able to sense and assist the transformation of heavy energy to light energy. People report feeling better and that it is easier to make positive changes after getting a tattoo from her. Jen has a deep connection to the Earth, clear focused attention and compassion for her clients.
Jen works from her private studio, by appointment in Long Beach, Southern California.
In her own words:
“My interests have led me on this journey of developing consciousness alongside of my art. The foundation of sacred tattooing came through 19 years ago in massage school. As I practiced touching people with healing intent, I experienced energy moving in myself. I could also sense this energy in others. It was a natural extension to share this with my tattoo clients.
“Kundalini yoga teacher training taught me to sense energy healing my emotional body through the chakras. About 5 years later, I received the Reiki attunements which inspired me to use healing energy for others.
“I stepped officially on to the shaman’s path in 2008 when I was initiated into the teachings and lineage of the Q’ero Shamans of the South American Andes. My ability to ‘move energy’ grew in proportion with my personal healing. I cleared years and lifetimes of heavy energy, quickly with the support and protection of this lineage.
“That same year, I began traveling to Kauai as a guest artist at Little Tsunami Tattoo. Having my feet on the Earth in a place where indigenous tattooing was practiced was very sacred to me. I made time to honor the history, traditions and ancestors there with offerings of flowers, and prayers from the heart. This is when the tattoo ancestors began speaking to me and inspiring me to create and share Sacred Tattooing. One after another, the perfect clients would come in with projects and experiences that taught me what to do and reminded me what was possible by connecting to the ancient purpose of tattooing- rites of passage and healing."
Along with tattooing and travel, Jen’s passion is building her future home and retreat space in Lucerne Valley, CA with her partner Brandon. Earth Heart Sanctuary is for guests, fellow shamans and mystics to experience rejuvenation, healing and peace in the beauty of the Mojave desert.
Jen enjoys tattooing fine art styles such as Art Deco and Art Nouveau. She is also interested in the following themes: Exotic botanicals, mystical spiritual themes, landscapes and nature, ornamental decoration, lettering and animals.
