It's not always possible to use an adjective as a noun in irish, at least not in the way one can in English. Here are some possible alternatives:

diagacht
divinity/divine nature

duine diaga
divine being
I'm still a learner, so be sure to get input from others, especially for tattoos.

I think I'd lean toward "diagacht" myself.
