Nearby: Tooele, UTDaoust prides himself on versatility in his shop after 23 years of experience. Erich Daoust, owner and operator of Black Elk Tattoo in Tooele, brought more than 20 years of experience to the table when he opened the studio’s doors four years ago. Daoust grew up in Heber City, Utah, during the 1980s and 1990s, which, as he explained, “led me to promptly want to move from that place, being a non-member of the church.” After moving to and spending a year in Salt Lake City, Daoust eventually relocated to Eugene, Oregon, where he began his first tattoo apprenticeship. After two years at that shop, he moved to another studio in Eugene to help open a new location in 1996 called High Priestess. After spending eight or nine years with the studio, he moved to Crimson Torch, where he worked alongside well-known local tattoo artist Joshua Carlton for approximately eight months. After Daoust’s wife accepted a position with Primary Children’s Hospital, the family moved back to Utah in 2013.
