TAMPA, Fla. — His legal name is Tony Baker, but a misprint on a business card provided the Doc Dog identity that he goes by.
In the 1970s, he asked for his name on the business card for his first tattoo shop to say “Dog,” which was his longtime nickname. “Like a dog, I was everyone’s best friend,” he said. The print shop thought he said “Doc” and put that on the card.
They then printed new cards, but with another error.
