I've been interested in tattoo for a long time (either machine or handpoke) and I always wanted to take some course to help me get started. I work full time, so an evening or weekend course would be best.
Any recommendations? Thank you!
honestly if you're full time, check out kunstlabor in wedding. they do a 2 day handpoke basics workshop every other saturday, like 120 euros i think. not as polished as some other spots but the teacher is chill and actually lets you try on practice skin instead of just watching a demo
For machine tattooing specifically, Tattoo Oslo on Torstraße has a solid beginner course that runs over two Saturdays. They provide the machines and fake skin, so you don't need to buy your own gear upfront. It's about 250 euros and they keep the groups small, maybe six people max, so you actually get some proper feedback. Just send them an email since their website is a bit outdated.
Check out Berlin Ink Academy in Friedrichshain. They run weekend workshops for both machine and handpoke, about 150 euros for a full day session. The owner Anna has been tattooing for over a decade and actually teaches proper hygiene standards which most beginners overlook. I'd skip the handpoke specific courses at first since the basics transfer over anyway.

What is the correct spelling for a street name that appears differently on multiple signs in Charlottenburg?
Worth noting that Berlin street names have official umlaut and ß rules that trip people up, so a sign showing "Strasse" versus "Straße" is not actually a spelling error, just an older transcription. Same with "ue" versus "ü" (e.g. "Kantstrasse" vs "Kantstraße"), both are considered valid renderings and you'll see the ß version on the blue Schilder and the ss version on older plaques or in databases that predate Unicode. If the difference you're seeing is between those two forms, there's nothing to fix and both are technically correct.
if the signs u mean are the old enamel ones on the house facades those are often protected as Baudenkmal so nobody's allowed to correct them even if the spelling is outdated. the binding version is whatever is in the Berliner Strassenverzeichnis plus the entry in the Liegenschaftskataster, so if u tell me the street i can point u to the right Bezirksamt Mitte or Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf page. tbh the merged district thing is real but the facade signs are a separate story, theyre basically museum pieces at this point
honestly thats super common in Charlottenburg, the district offices were merged from older Bezirke and nobody ever fixed all the Schilder. if its a real street you can check the official strassenverzeichnis on berlin.de, that list is what the Burgeramt actually goes by. which street is it? some of the Kaiserdamm / Kantstrasse signs are notorious for this.
