Dario “Street Dog”
Senior Tattoo Artist
My name is Dario, known artistically as “Street Dog.” I am a professional tattoo artist with 15 years of experience, originally born in Bogotá, Colombia. I hold a Master’s degree in Fine Arts and a professional degree in Graphic Design.
Before returning to Utah for the second time, I spent two years living in Europe—primarily in Barcelona—which marked a pivotal chapter in my career. The experience, knowledge, and artistic influences I gathered there significantly shaped my development as a professional artist.
While I specialize in Black and Grey Realism, I am highly versatile and proficient in a wide variety of styles. I approach every piece with absolute responsibility and expertise. Every tattoo I create comes with a guarantee; I focus deeply on the fine details and always strive for the absolute best result for my clients.
The name "Street Dog" is a tribute to all the stray dogs I have rescued over the years. I continue to fight firmly for this cause and animal welfare today.
