I don't see how the tat gets you thinking of water, but Echo being from Luna's "Boat Clan" makes sense when you think about it. The people of the Tree Clan should all be well aware of Sky People like Bellamy by now, and at least heard rumors that the Sky People are seeking an alliance. Bellamy is one of the more prominent of the Sky People, at least from a Grounder perspective, so most of the Tree Clan that have encountered tem have at least caught a glimpse of Bellamy. Echo did not recognice him, and even had to ask if he was a Sky Person, before spitting on him afrer he confirmed her suspicions. So, I expect she probably is from the Boat Clan.

The Boat Clan may no nothing more than the fact that the Sky People have come down to Earth. And, according to Grounder psychology, anything in "our" territory that is no "us" is assumed to be hostile. So, it may take a bit more work to get the oter clans to see Sky People as anything other than a problem to be killed as quickly as possible. Lexa's calling together of the Clans was a step in that direction, and when Bellamy can make good on his promise to free Echo and all the others, that should go a long way too.
