Skateboarding, sweat, and a buzzing needle in the Berlin sun—what more could you ask for? The DOSE crew rolled through Berlin’s iconic Kulturforum for a skate challenge that blurred the lines between commitment, chaos, and art. But what really set this game apart? Enter Rebecca, a fearless, fiercely talented tattoo artist who brought the heat—literally—with her needle.

The Premise: Go Big or Go Home (with Ink)

The rules were savage in the best way possible: Each skater had three tries to land their trick. Miss all three? Someone’s getting a tattoo. And since most of the skaters were underage (and one was off to Paris), filmmaker Norman stepped up as the human canvas.

Let’s just say: He didn’t leave empty-handed. Or un-inked.

Rebecca: A Woman with the Machine

Behind the buzzing needle was Rebecca (@deadheat_10000v)—a Canadian-born, Berlin-based tattoo artist who showed up and showed out. In a male-dominated scene, both in skate and tattoo culture, Rebecca was the unshakable force of calm and control, wielding her machine like a paintbrush and turning daredevil moments into lasting marks of memory.

It’s not every day you see a woman with that kind of power in the spotlight—especially in a space that’s often reserved for loud tricks and louder egos. Rebecca didn’t just match the energy—she elevated it.

Tattoos in the Wild

Forget sterile studios—this was street-level ink with street-level grit. As the sun beat down on the Kulturforum, tricks were thrown, nerves were fried, and the buzzing of Rebecca’s machine echoed through the chaos. Her art didn’t just document failure—it celebrated the attempt, the risk, and the thrill of showing up.

Why It Matters

At FIZZY, we’re all about amplifying the women who redefine the rules. And that’s exactly what Rebecca did—owning her space, bringing artistry into unexpected places, and reminding everyone that behind every needle is a voice, a vision, and a whole lot of badass energy.
