I remember the day when my older brother came home with the most beautiful tattoo I had ever seen. I knew that this tattoo was special and the artist who created it was very gifted and blessed. I knew that I wanted to receive my first tattoo from Jen Schichi! Jen gifted me with such a nurturing and sacred tattooing experience. Jen's shamanic abilities from start to finish were both protective and nurturing. She was such an intuitive guide through the sacred ceremony and created sacred space during the tattooing process. I feel incredibly grateful and forever transformed through Jen's beautiful artistry and healing gifts!
- Sage Rose Brandon stood in amazement as he beheld the image on his arm, the space probe Voyager-1 floating in inky blackness, surrounded by the stars. Momentarily overwhelmed by the emotion of it, all he could do was smile. It was like a layer of old skin had been peeled away to reveal this true beauty, this facet of himself that he had never seen before. - Brandon Bryant, Long Beach, CA |
So as I walk around Baltimore, I've been getting grabbed by strangers that start to twist and gawk at the artwork on my arm. It's become a part of me now so the experience is starting to surprise me when it happens. The typical statement is "Whoa!!! Who did this" and "Wow, you just don't see that kind of work on the east coast". And what I want to tell you all is this. If you want a great piece of Tattoo Art, it's an investment in so many ways from you and equally a defined commitment for the artist. The process teaches you patience and healing. It will give you faith in life that most all things in life can heal if properly cared for, and even turn out more beautiful than they were before. Real tattoo art work is a sacrifice. And having such a large piece done with someone who is a spiritual leader and friend is an added bonus.
If you are looking for a truly great tattoo and live in the Los Angeles area, or if you have the means to travel to her. I highly suggest you seek the artistry of Jen Shakti. Her work and the experience is worth more than every penny.

I had the most amazing tattoo experience with Jen Shakti. It was everything I had envisioned and more. Jen isn’t only a talented artist, she’s also a healer who brings ancient wisdom, grounding ritual, and corazon into her practice. This is someone who’s done and keeps doing the spiritual work needed to infuse her needles and in with something beyond the surface tattoo. She’s a rare professional in this respect. I talked to and visiting many tattoo artists in the last few months. I found great artists who were more than willing to do the work, but Jen was really the only artist I found who was genuinely interested in the seeds of my tattoo, the story I wanted/needed to tell before putting something so permanent on my body. My tattoo is a tribute to a dear friend/soul sister who passed away in 2012. I have been envisioning this tattoo for 5 years and it meant so much to have Jen do it. No only had Jen previously tattooed my friend who passed away (how special is that!) but she also tapped into the deeper layers of what this tattoo means to me, the narrative beneath the skin, and she worked with me to perfect what I wanted. I love the finished piece so much, and I know its beauty, power, and sacred meaning will keep unfolding. Mil gracias, Jen!

The Sacred Tattoo 2-day retreat was a great trip punctuated by chauffeur service to and from airport. Nice, neat accommodations, spacious and welcoming with wonderful art on the walls. It being a retreat I was grateful the contemplative opportunities and not having a thousand channels to surf. It was a quiet neighborhood with no appreciable noise to distract me from my integration of psychological and spiritual work. Incredible conversation and sacred tattooing work. The pace of the tattooing was performed sensitively and responsive to my pace.
The shamanic work was also incredible and cosmic consisting of a great walk, talk, historical lesson on the actual area, honoring the earth itself, and psychospritual and emotional support. I also has experienced the longest ever in my life déjà vu/recognition of a precognitive dream from almost a decade previous in my life.
Deliciously home cooked and healthy food was wonderful and a welcomed contrast to the airport and airplane food. Great company too getting to know better my healer colleague and her significant other. Also was taken out to dinner at a nice health local non chain restaurant and was able to check out some local art at a gallery.
It was the best trip of my life…it had a mission it was accomplished with the above and beyond call of duty—Congressional Medal of Honor worthy, and magical coincidences occurred and commonalities emerged. I certainly have a reminder of the trip for the rest of this life, I also have plenty of memories and photos to remind me of such a fantastic time. Thank you again Jen. A-ho!

Your calm helps my calm and your art inspires me to dance. You have given me a homework assignment…to learn more about chakras and understand which chakras have been emphasized in your creation on me! The shedding of my old stories is officially in effect. While not the easiest spot in life to look at, it’s all good! I even notice my tattoo helps me to do spinal twists!! I am very proud of my piece, and I am proud to know you. You are a true Goddess!!

Dear Jen,
My arm is singing!! This is so much fun and I am glad I waited as long as I did as it feels even more taboo and edgy. I feel it will be an eternal marker to remember in all future lives to be grateful. Thank you Jen, only you- I am so happy!!

Jen, I am so in awe of this portal you’ve opened in me!! As I watch my gorgeous tattoo making its way through the molting season, I can feel I am about to head intothe last physical stage of my decades long Enlightenment process. Our saced ceremony astounded me on sooooo many levels!. I knew you were the only one who could create this precious emblem. What you brought to me on the personal level blew me away… still, it must have been challenging! There you were creating your masterpiece and anchoring Spirit as the masterful shaman/priestess you are, and there I was- oh so unexpectedly channeling all these big time messages from your guides. This surprised me somewhat, but I went with the flow. You opened yourself up to spirit. It was incredible to see you simultaneously tattooing, keeping sacred space and receiving the once in a lifetime message that would make others blanch, shut down, run or faint!! I’m so proud of you, I love my tattoo, I’m looking forward to seeing where it takes me!!

Jen, Thank you so much for being a badass, amazing human with the brightest soul I’ve ever seen. You’ve opened my mind and life to so much opportunity. The Sacred Tattoo experience has been eye opening and beautiful. I am sure I’ll be feeling the energy of the art transforming me for some time to come! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

I have been getting tattooed by Jen Shakti for over 15 years. My spiritual path and goals growing alongside of someone as luminous and on-purpose as Jen, has made my journey all-the-better. Dedicated to the spiritual growth of her clients, Jen focuses heavily on the REASON behind the tattoo. If you are looking for work that is meaningful and will manifest more and more power in your life as time goes on, Jen is the right woman for the job. Every time a momentous thing has happened in my life, I have sought out Jen to commemorate it artistically in my skin. She has captured the feeling, intensity, and importance of each shift with care and beauty. She is 110% immersed in her own soul-growth and every encounter with her is heightened by deep discussion about the things that really matter in life. Her space provides comfort in the process—which is really important when it comes to tattooing in my opinion. The rituals she performs heighten the experience and lock the magic into the ink. Without a doubt the best tattooing experiences I’ve ever had in my life.
