The Women Behind Divine Ink

Elizabeth Peralta

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.

Founder | Lead Tattoo Artist

Michelle P.

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.

Dime Rose

Dime Rose is a 20-year-old self-taught tattoo artist who began her tattooing journey at just 16 years old. Specializing in black and gray work, she creates pieces that blend fine line details, soft shading, and illustrative composition.

Her passion for art began long before tattooing. From an early age, she found herself constantly creating, and her artistic ability was recognized throughout middle school, encouraging her to continue developing her craft. She later attended the Fashion Institute of Technology, where she earned her Associate of Applied Science in Fine Arts. Her education strengthened her understanding of composition, value, and design, all of which continue to influence her work as a tattoo artist.

Dime values collaboration with her clients, taking the time to design tattoos that are both meaningful and visually balanced. As she continues to grow in the industry, her focus remains on refining her technique and expanding her artistic voice. When she’s not tattooing, Dime spends her time creating charcoal drawings and paintings, constantly refining the artistic foundation that inspires her tattoo designs.

Ny

Studio Coordinator

Hi! I’m Ny, the Studio Coordinator at Divine Ink. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and have a background in sales, marketing, and finance, but what I enjoy most is working with people and helping create positive experiences from start to finish.

As one of the first points of contact for many of our clients, I love helping people feel comfortable, informed, and excited throughout their tattoo journey. Whether I’m answering questions, coordinating appointments, or offering support behind the scenes, my goal is always to make the process as smooth and welcoming as possible.

Outside of work, I’m a proud mom, plant lover, and creative at heart. I own a small floral design business called NetBouquets, where I get to combine my love for flowers, design, and meaningful moments. I also enjoy photography, poetry, art, and finding inspiration in nature—especially in the beauty of the sky and the little details that often go unnoticed.

I’m a family-oriented people person who loves meeting new faces, building genuine connections, and sharing a good laugh whenever I can. I believe that great experiences come from making people feel seen, valued, and comfortable, and that’s the energy I strive to bring to everything I do.
