Meet Dario Rodriguez | Tattoo artist

We had the good fortune of connecting with Dario Rodriguez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Dario, how do you think about risk?
Cuando nos sentimos estancados , que no avanzamos , es porque estamos en nuestra zona de comfort , una zona que nos indica que no hay ningún tipo de riesgo para nosotros, nos sentimos cómodos y pienso que es 100% necesario tomar riesgos para seguir avanzando , creciendo, y aprendiendo en cada área de nuestras vidas, no solo en el lado profesional, ya que cada decisión que tomamos en nuestro día a día con llevan riesgos que nos hacen crecer y aprender constantemente y con el tiempo nos damos cuenta que cada riesgo que tomamos viene con una gran recompensa ,como dicen quien no arriesga nunca gana, y yo soy un ganador.

When we feel stuck, that we are not moving forward, it is because we are in our comfort zone, a zone that tells us that there is no type of risk for us, we feel comfortable and I think that it is 100% necessary to take risks to continue moving forward, growing. , and learning in every area of ​​our lives, not only on the professional side, since every decision we make in our daily lives carries risks that make us grow and learn constantly and over time we realize that every risk we take It comes with a great reward, as they say he who takes no risks never wins, and I am a winner.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Bueno, soy un artista venezolano, que empezó su carrera de Tatuador en la bella ciudad de Panamá ,desde adolescente tuve una fuerte inclinación sobre el graffiti y el dibujo que en ese entonces lo tomaba como un hobby y pasar el rato sin saber lo que significarían para mi carrera, años más tarde gracias a ese acercamiento a el arte y la habilidad que había desarrollado al dibujar conocí el mundo del tatuaje y despertó en mi esa curiosidad de experimentar e intentar algo nuevo que me sentiría cómodo.
Me enorgullece mucho aún estar acá, aún aprendiendo ,creciendo, dedicándole y dándole mucho amor como si fuese el día 1 . He llegado a donde estoy , porque no me he rendido , porque he tomado riesgos, y siempre he tratado de hacer las cosas bien, o al menos lo mejor que yo pueda , han existido miles de problemas y desafíos, unos más fuerte que otros pero cada uno con una gran enseñanza y con ese empujón a seguir creciendo.

Well, I am a Venezuelan artist, who began his career as a tattoo artist in the beautiful city of Panama. Since I was a teenager I had a strong inclination towards graffiti and drawing, which at that time I took as a hobby and pass the time without knowing what they would mean. For my career, years later, thanks to that approach to art and the skill that I had developed when drawing, I discovered the world of tattooing and it awakened in me that curiosity to experiment and try something new that I would feel comfortable with.
I am very proud to still be here, still learning, growing, dedicating and giving it a lot of love as if it were day 1. I have gotten to where I am, because I have not given up, because I have taken risks, and I have always tried to do things well, or at least the best I can, there have been thousands of problems and challenges, some stronger than others but each one with a great teaching and with that push to continue growing.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Vivo en la ciudad de Seattle , Washington, y sin duda alguno tomaría la opción de irnos a conocer los impresionante parques naturales que hay en Washington. Sin duda saldrían experiencias y momentos inolvidables
