One of the consequences of being surrounded by a 100 disc cd changer put on random nearly every day of my life, is that I have very varied taste in music...
Some Notable Artists:
Patti Smith, Kate Bush, Michelle Shocked, Lucinda Williams, Nancy Griffith, William Orbit, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Sheila Chandra, Ofra Haza, Hawkwind & TENACIOUS D to name but a few.
I love...
World Music, American Heritage Radio, Big Band, Swing, Blues, Ska, Good Country, Good Folk, Good Rock, Good Trance & Techno, ETC, ETC, ETC
I tolerate...
Some Top 40, Elevator Muzak
I consider revenge for...
Screeching Death Metal, Really Bad Top 40

Sanctuary Tattoo & Art Gallery Portland, ME US Co-Owner Specializing in Fairy Surgery & the Transmutation of Time and Space
Opened September 1999 & going strong today!
The Tattoo Fairy appreciates the quiet moments snowy days bring to get the extra little details take care of view more
About me: Hi, I'm Jen and I am your garden variety tattoo fairy. I spend my days at Sanctuary Tattoo in Portland Maine, putting prayers on people's skin and helping truth and beauty surface. Sometimes I do fairy surgery for poor fairies who have come into this world rather worse for the wear and tear. I practice tattooing as a healing art. I bring my experience as a professional psychic, Reiki master and body centered spiritual healer to my tattoo sessions to offer an experience for the heart and soul as well as the body.
The 7 steps to a new tattoo:
it goes something like this...
You are over 18 and you contact me about making an appointment here in Portland Maine to get a tattoo.
We come up with a tattoo idea just for you (I can give you an estimate at that point).
We make an appointment and I receive a deposit from you..
You get plenty of sleep the night before and eat a good meal on the day of your appointment.
I give tattoo luvins to you.
You give money luvins back to me.
Your tattoo heals for about 1-2 weeks and you have a beautiful tattoo for the rest of your life!
Hey Jen! I have an appointment with you on June 12th :) I found a butterfly that i want to use in my tattoo because it is a Vanessa tameamea (scientific name) Kamehameha butterfly, I want this pattern but maybe black and white or different colors :)...I will give you a call before i come in to get my tattoo but here is the picture :)
hello, beautiful fairie goddess! Let me know if there is anything from Portsmouth that you would like when I come up! A little over two weeks! So exciting!!!!
hey jen, wanted to say hi and tell you how well me and meg are doing over here in singapore. it's been amazing, so much to do and see. i bet sommer will tell you more when she gets her tattoo done, but we're going to be in maine in the next week so hopefully we can see you when we are there. well hope your doing well and i'll talk to you later. whitney
Hey Jen! Thanks for adding me. I can't wait to get my tattoo in JUNE! But anyway, here is a pic of my scary ass tattoo..i dunno if it is fixable but i hope you say that it is :(...any suggestions would be much appreciated :)
My sister and I love your work, it's absolutely breath-taking. We're planning on getting tattoos within the next month or two and so far, you're our top artist!
I see a lot of your work is detailed well and the colors are gorgeous! Do you also do smaller pieces? Like 2"x2"?
hi jen, i cant wait to meet you on the 25th and have my mom get her first tat! she is soooo excited. i cant wait to talk to you about mine as well. see you then. cant wait :)
The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.
hey jen, i was checking out the pics of your 2008 tattoos & you do awesome work!!!! i'm trying to figure out what i want for my next tat. hopefully one day i'll be able to make it up to maine. peace, jennifer :o)
Jen, your tattoos are absolutely beautiful and wonderfully inspiring! I would love to make an appointment with you sometime within the next few months :)
Thanks for the add Jen. Damn....you look great, inspriring...I have been slowly shifting my current bad diet for a better one. Perhaps this summer I will be ready for a bit more work on my arm. Renewed spirit goes great with some new ink.
Jen, my love! happy belated birthday blessings! We need to get you on facebook! I can't wait to see you again in March. It seems so far away! Blessed Be!
Happy Happy Birthday! Can't wait to meet you and also can't wait for you to color my world with your beautiful art! Soon....very Soon!!!! Much Love to you on this special day!
