Andrew Russo, co-owner of Ink Couture, began his journey in Staten Island, attending Our Lady Star of the Sea Elementary School in Huguenot and later graduating from Tottenville High School. He went on to play Division 1 football as a running back at Wagner College, where he pursued a degree in Special Education with a focus on Mathematics. It was during his time at college, while taking electives, that he discovered his passion for art and realized he could develop it into a career.

The week Andrew graduated from Wagner, he committed to starting his tattoo apprenticeship. He honed his skills through countless hours of practice and by learning from world-renowned artists who frequently visit Ink Couture from across the globe. Today, Andrew has established himself as a talented tattoo artist specializing in black and grey realism, reworking old tattoos, and coverups. If you’re living with a tattoo you hate, Andrew has the expertise to help you get rid of it for good!
