A 22-year-old student in Italy tattooed the barcode of his COVID-19 vaccination certificate on his arm, to avoid the hassles of carrying a Covid-19 vaccination certificate everywhere.

Andrea Colonnetta got the QR code associated with the pass tattooed on his left bicep so that it is always available for scanning everywhere he goes.

The artist who made the tattoo shared a video of Andrea sporting the QR code tattoo. In the video, two people are seen entering McDonald’s, where the authorities scanned the man’s tattooed arm to check his vaccination certificate using the QR code.

Colonnetta, told Corriere della Calabria newspaper, “It’s certainly something original, I like to be different,”

He also said that he didn’t give much thought in advance before getting the tattoo but decided to go ahead as it was practical.
