Every day something new emerges that gives us a little taste of what the "new normal" could look like. One man in Italy, Andrea Colonnetta, got a proof of vaccination tattoo and it feels like something out of a science fiction novel.

Colonnetta tattooed the barcode for his COVID-19 vaccination certificate on his arm and shared a video of himself successfully using the tattoo to enter a McDonald's location.


According to the India Times, Italy has something called a "green pass" which is essentially a vaccine passport. The green pass shows your vaccination status, if you've had COVID-19 in the past, and if you've tested negative in the last 48 hours.

The green pass is used to get into restaurants along with other indoor public locations like movie theatres, museums, sports venues, etc.

In Colonnetta's video, we see him using his phone to scan his tattoo, opening up his green pass on his phone, and then having the McDonald's security scan that. He's given a pass to enter and is seen enjoying his burger at the end.
