Shooting sounds near fan zones. Anyone know what happened ?
UPDATE: it just happened again and I checked and at the same time Turkey scored a goal. And I assume the guns are blank shots that are used dur… The fan zones are closed so I think no terrorist attack
UPDATE: it just happened again and I checked and at the same time Turkey scored a goal. And I assume the guns are blank shots that are used during new years. That says enough....
oh yeah i live near there, pretty sure it's just firecrackers and blanks. happens all the time during big games, nothing to worry about
Makes sense. Turkey fans are really passionate, so the timing lines up perfectly.
Yeah that's almost definitely just people firing blanks celebrating the goal. Happens every time there's a big match, especially near the fan zones.
i'd say skip the big names and look at studiowest in prenzlauer berg, they do amazing japanese style but the waitlist is like 6 months. if u want something quicker, the artists at bitterlich tattoo in mitte are super underrated, especially for fine line. and honestly, walk past the instagram hype, go to a shop in person and ask to see their portfolio book, that's where the real stuff is.
The Berlin tattoo scene is pretty spread out, so it depends on what style you're after. For fine line and minimalist work, I'd look at A Fine Line in Kreuzberg, they're booked out weeks in advance for a reason. If you want bold traditional, check out Die Wilde Ecke in Neukölln, they've been around forever and the artists there are solid. Honestly, your best bet is to scroll through Instagram and find someone whose healed work you like, not just the fresh photos, because that's where the real skill shows.
One thing nobody's mentioned yet is the tattoo convention at Arena Berlin, usually in early summer. It's a good way to see a bunch of styles in one afternoon and talk to artists face to face without committing to a shop. I found my guy there three years ago, he works out of a tiny studio near Boxhagener Platz and does amazing neo-traditional, but he rarely posts on Instagram so you'd never discover him otherwise. Bring cash if you go, a lot of the booths only take that on the day.
