ECCO2K (Zak Arogundade Gaterud) has never been one for the obvious. While his Drain Gang counterpart Bladee raps about glue and heaven, and Thaiboy Digital brings the swagger, Ecco operates in the realm of the ethereal. He is a ghost in the machine. So, when fans noticed the tiny "e" permanently stamped on his hand, the speculation began immediately.
A recurring theme in his ink is the usage of small, manga-style figures. This connects his physical form to the otaku/internet culture that Drain Gang spawned from. These images are usually placed on the hands or neck, acting as small avatars.
He has utilized his own body to brand himself. Monograms and simple typographies are present, reinforcing his identity as a product or a brand (a concept heavily explored in his music video "Pills").
The "e" tattoo is a masterpiece of anti-design. In a world where everyone is screaming for attention, ECCO2K whispers.
: Some view the album title as "self-titled" (Ecco2k = E), making the tattoo a direct homage to the artist's identity and his commitment to self-expression.
