About Itty Bitty Pokes

 My style is pretty fluid. As an artist, I have whims, and I love to follow them. I am absolutely willing to work with an individual to create a tattoo they can carry proudly. Tattoos are for all colors, all body types, and all people. I strive to create a welcoming space for people from all walks of life. I look forward to collaborating with all to create a piece of art to be worn proudly for the rest of your life!  

My name is Michaelle (Mi- kai- elle) Mamo Weingartner but many (most) call me Miki! I have a cute little family including my lovely husband, adorable daughter, and two cute cats. I love video games, all things fantasy and sci-fi, anime, and pretty much any other nerdy hobby. 

Watching anime as an elementary school student started my headlong path into the arts. To me, reading, writing, and the visual arts have been inseparable. All influence and inform the other in my art. In each tattoo, there is a story told–whether or not the tattoo is chock-full of meaning (which is definitely not a requirement!). It marks a moment in life and can create a version of self more closely reflective of our inner world. My illustrative style can incorporate elements of bold color or subtle, delicate shading. Please take a moment to look at my art and reach out if you feel so inspired!
