Football Fever in Berlin: Free Tattoos at Euro 2024 Fan Zone

Football fans visiting the fan zone in Berlin during the Euro 2024 tournament are in for a unique treat – free tattoos to commemorate the event. Tattoo artist Enaitz Greaney is offering around a dozen poke tattoos per day, making it a sought-after experience for enthusiasts.

Design Choices and Popular Picks

Fans can select from a variety of flash tattoo designs, with options including the iconic Berlin bear and the local 030 dialling code. Greaney mentioned that these designs have been the top choices among fans seeking a lasting memory of the tournament.

Memories in Ink

Julia G, an HR manager, shared her motivation behind getting a tattoo: “I thought this would be a nice memory of this time, of the beautiful summer. That’s why I decided to get a tattoo today.” She mentioned that the poke tattoos done with a single needle were less painful compared to standard tattoos.

A Special First Tattoo

Greaney highlighted a heartwarming experience of giving an “older gentleman” his first tattoo, showcasing how football can bring people of all ages together in unique ways.

Availability and Queues

Tattoo appointments are available on the day, but eager fans are advised to arrive early as queues start forming as soon as the Berlin fan zone, also known as the Fan Mile, opens at 2 pm CET. The limited slots make securing a spot a challenging yet rewarding experience for football and tattoo enthusiasts alike.
