The Covid-19 tattoo freepass

A tattooist has given an Italian client a unique stamp on his arm which proves he does not have coronavirus, meaning he no longer needs to get out his phone to prove it at shops, cafes and restaurants.

A man has got a tattoo proving he is coronavirus free – meaning he no longer needs to get out his phone to prove it at shops, cafes and restaurants.

Well-known tattooist Gabriele Pellerone, who has more than 200,000 followers on Instagram, has expertly tattooed a QR code onto the arms of one of his clients in Italy.

When scanned, the code shows the man’s corona Green Pass.

The Green Pass certificate was first introduced in Italy in June to facilitate travel in Europe, allow people to take part in large events like weddings, and to provide access to nursing homes.
