Are Project Management meetups a thing?

So I was laid off recently and I'm trying to find a job as a UX/UI Designer as quickly as I can (no unemployment benefits). But it was a tough 2023 for the industry and may be a tough 2024 as well… So I was laid off recently and I'm trying to find a job as a UX/UI Designer as quickly as I can (no unemployment benefits). But it was a tough 2023 for the industry and may be a tough 2024 as well. So I was fishing for tips online and came across this Reddit post 3y ago that talked about going to meetups. Not just Designer meetups (which I had thought about) but also Project Manager meetups. This blew my mind. Does anyone know about any of these? On Meetup.com or Eventbrite? Are they all in German?

Project Management meetups are definitely a thing here, and a few are in English. Check out "Project Managers in Berlin" on Meetup, they usually meet somewhere near Moritzplatz. The UX side might actually be more useful for you since a lot of PM folks in Berlin come from dev backgrounds and don't specialize in design workflows like Trello or Figma handoffs. Most events I've been to were at least half English, but the Slack chats tend to default to German.

You'll find plenty of UX-focused meetups where PMs also show up. The UX Design Meetup Berlin group on Meetup.com does a monthly event near U-Bahn Möckernbrücke, and it's usually in English. I've seen a few job leads come from those evenings, and the organizers actively encourage designers and PMs to mix during the networking part. Bring your laptop or a portfolio sketch, people there appreciate seeing actual work.

You might want to look into the ProductTank Berlin events, they're more product-focused but UX and PM people overlap heavily there. They meet at various spots around Mitte and usually run in English. Also the Berlin PM Network on LinkedIn is pretty active with job posts and occasional in-person meetups at places like Factory Berlin.

Best tattoo artist in town?

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.
