marcos ortega
From Madrid, Spain, Marcos started tattooing in 2012. Influenced by the punk rock underground scene, Marcos began drawing tattoos, album covers, and posters. At the age of 17, he built a handmade tattoo machine and tattooed his own leg for the first time.
A few years later, he moved to London in search of an apprenticeship and shortly after began tattooing professionally.
Later, he relocated to Berlin, Germany, where he has worked with a solid and loyal clientele for the past 11 years.
Marcos co-owned two significant shops in Berlin: "Out of Step Tattoo Parlour" & "Stay Free Tattoo," leaving a lasting impression on thousands of German customers. During those years, he undertook painting commissions for tattoo books, participated in conventions, and became an integral part of the German tattoo scene.
