Born in Brooklyn and raised in Poughkeepsie, New York, I bring 7 years of professional tattooing experience to my craft. As the owner of Divine Ink, I’ve created a space where tattooing is more than just an art form—it’s a spiritual journey. Each design is a unique opportunity to help my clients express their stories, commemorate life’s milestones, and find healing through the transformative power of ink.

My creative and spiritual journey began in childhood, nurtured by programs at Mill Street Loft. This transformative experience helped me develop my artistic talents and explore the deeper connection between creativity and spirituality from an early age.

I attended Poughkeepsie City Schools, where I balanced academics with athletics, playing softball, volleyball, football, and cheerleading. The discipline, teamwork, and resilience I cultivated as an athlete continue to inspire my dedication to my craft today.

Creativity has always been at the heart of who I am. As a mother, I love finding new ways to channel my artistic energy—whether it’s through baking intricate desserts, crafting handmade creations, or designing unforgettable special events. These passions fuel my inspiration as an artist and enrich the experiences 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.
