The one thing that we can say about Paul “Puma” Robinson with full certainty is that he will never let any personal relationship come in between him and his business. Dutchess is now the owner of her own tattoo parlor, Pretty-N-Ink in Charlotte, North Carolina, and has a practice that she calls “Dutchology,” which she shares with her followers either through her Instagram captions or via her radio show on 92.7 FM, The Block. While Ceaser’s ex-fiancé left the ‘Black Ink Crew’ in season 5 itself, she has not been idle since, nor is she considered a rookie anymore.

Her beautiful and intricate tattoos, along with her modeling, have been featured in publications like Inked and Urban Ink. She is a proud North Carolina A&T State University alumnus and has also been a successful fashion model, both on the ramp and in the print media.
