Let us know in the comments<\/i> <\/b><\/p>\n<p>Since earlier in August, the pass has also been required to eat indoors in restaurants and is essential for access to places like museums, swimming pools, cinemas, gyms and more.<\/p>\n<p>A video posted on Pellerone\u2019s social media shows that the intricate tattoo actually works, too. In the footage the man walks into a McDonalds, and when scanned the tattoo brings up his coronavirus certification.<\/p>\n<p>In a social media post alongside a video of the tattoos, translated from Italian, Pellerone said: &#8220;People get tattooed for different reasons, also to remember a historical period like this, and all that it generated or left along its path.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Regardless, there is no objective way of seeing things, whether it be for better or for worse, each person has a story to tell and their own way of seeing or interpreting everything, beyond any form of prejudice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A look through Gabriele Pellerone&#8217;s Instagram page shows his quality with a needle. Images of some of his works show photo-realistic tattoos of tigers, rottweilers, and even young children.<\/p>\n<p>To see all of his work, including the new QR code design, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gabrielepellerone\/?hl=en\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">visit his Instagram page here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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 &#8230; <a title=\"Man gets QR code tattoo which shows he is coronavirus-free, and uses it at McDonald&#8217;s\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/man-gets-qr-code-tattoo-which-shows-he-is-coronavirus-free-and-uses-it-at-mcdonalds\/\" aria-label=\"More on Man gets QR code tattoo which shows he is coronavirus-free, and uses it at McDonald&#8217;s\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":36615,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36614"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36614"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36614\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36614"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/districtchronicles.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
