About Echo
Echo taught himself how to tattoo in ‘97 when tattooing became legal in NYC. He always said tattooing chose him.
He grew to love and respect the tradition by working on his long list of friends who were waiting for years before he ever touched a machine, due to his strong and respected graffiti background.
After two years at a few shops he took a trip to Amsterdam and immediately fell In Love with the graffiti and tattoo culture there. He ended up at one of the most famous and notorious tattoo shops in the world ,’Hanky Panky’s’.
Based in the heart of the red light district the shop attracted many well known celebrities and entertainers that he had the pleasure of tattooing and designing work for over the next five years. He eventually moved back to New York and opened a one man shop named ‘Now or Never Tattoos’ . after a ten year successful run he decided to relocate closer to the city to accommodate his client base.
He likes to say he specializes in specializing, but his favorite styles are big tribals and freehand lettering.
