TattoosByLiz
Born in Brooklyn and raised in both Brooklyn and Poughkeepsie, New York, I bring 8 years of professional tattooing experience to my craft. As the owner of Divine Ink, I’ve built a studio where creativity, artistry, and individuality are celebrated. Each tattoo is a chance to help clients express their stories, honor life’s milestones, and wear artwork that truly represents them.
I began working at a young age, which taught me the importance of hospitality, customer service, and connecting with people. Those early experiences continue to shape the way I engage with clients and ensure every visit is welcoming and memorable.
My passion for art started in childhood, nurtured by programs at Mill Street Loft and Sister to Sister, where I developed both skill and a love for creative expression. I also attended Poughkeepsie City Schools, balancing academics with athletics—playing softball, volleyball, football, and cheerleading. The discipline and resilience I gained as an athlete inform the dedication I bring to my work every day.
Outside of tattooing, I love exploring creativity in other ways—whether it’s baking, crafting, or designing events. These passions inspire me and add depth to the artistic experience I share with my clients at Divine Ink.

…ink (Dot Dot Dot Ink)
Born and raised in Carmel, NY, I was always artistically inclined since a young age, but I never really pursued it professionally, always focusing on academics I ended up going to school to become a Licensed Veterinary Technician, which I love, but there is no room to be creative in the medical field.
I’ve always had a love for tattoos, ever since I was able to get my first one at 18 I was hooked. Then, in 2021 I started hand poke tattooing. It started with me inking dots on my fingers until one day I realized I could turn those dots into artwork, hence the name of my business, Dot Dot Dot Ink (…ink).
Handpoke tattooing is a more primitive way of tattooing. It is the process of introducing ink into the dermis with a tattoo needle without the use of electricity. So, instead of having an electric machine pulse the tattoo needle back and forth through a tattoo gun, I hold the needle in my hand and "poke" the ink into the skin using my own force.
I have found in my years of inking clients that hand poke tattooing definitely has its benefits due to the fact that it causes less trauma to the skin than traditional machine tattooing, especially when doing delicate areas like fingers, hands and ears. I also LOVE doing touch up for peoples older tattoos that have gotten blown out due to age of the tattoo, or a previous artist having a “heavy hand”.
I am so excited to be a part of Divine Ink now and cannot wait to start meeting new clients in the city of Poughkeepsie. Come stop by and say hi! I love answering people’s questions about my craft.

I’m Michelle, a 23-year-old fine line tattoo artist with about three years of experience. My tattoo journey began at the end of Covid, when I decided to take my love for art off the page and onto the skin. What started as curiosity quickly grew into a passion, and I’ve been steadily refining my craft ever since.
I enjoy creating art that makes people feel beautiful—art that elevates and empowers. My specialty is fine line tattooing, which is all about precision, detail, and balance. I focus on clean lines and subtle intricacy, turning delicate strokes into timeless pieces. Whether it’s soft floral designs, minimalistic symbols, or detailed patterns, I work carefully to ensure each tattoo flows naturally with the body and looks elegant for years to come. My goal is to create beauty that feels both personal and effortless, while making each client’s experience comfortable and memorable.
Outside of tattooing, I’ve always been drawn to creativity in all forms, whether it’s drawing, crafting, or finding new ways to express art in everyday life. That same love for creativity inspires me daily and pushes me to keep growing as both an artist and a person.
