1. COVID-19 Test Tube
An impressive COVID-19 test tube tattoo is an excellent way to remember those days when people were quarantined due to this rare virus. The image depicting its pathology on black ink shows off just how creative this tattoo truly is; I believe this to be one of my favorite tattoo designs thus far! Since the coronavirus began wreaking havoc around the globe, many things we will never fully know remain unknown. But many are inspired by these problematic years by creating artistic tattoo designs as therapy and closure.
2. I Hope You Die First
Nessa Barrett has released an emotionally powerful song entitled I Hope You Die First, which addresses anxiety and existential questions surrounding death and its inevitable nature. Nessa has used music as an outlet to cope with her difficulties – doing it so skilfully that others take note. She recently got matching semicolons tattooed onto their wrists along with Alisha Boe and Tommy Dorfman from the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why to raise awareness for mental health awareness and suicide prevention, sending a powerful message about love’s emotional power.
3. COVID Essentials
COVID Essentials may be the first multi-store concept dedicated solely to products required due to an infectious disease. This shop sells hand sanitizer and UV light disinfection devices, among others. Not the only players in this particular game, but able to outshout competitors? A couple of lucky winners received free t-shirts shaped like coronaviruses and hand sanitizer samples!
4. COVID Betrayal
The COVID Betrayal was one of the significant events to occur in 2020. This period was marked by widespread chaos and fear throughout society.
5. COVID Zero Elongated
tattoos are an excellent way to connect with one’s past, and in 2020, this was particularly apparent. People became highly frustrated during the lockdown and wanted nothing more than to leave their houses. However, they were limited by strict policies and rules they needed to abide by then, so they devised different tattoo designs to commemorate a challenging year for them.
6. COVID Doctors
Frontline medical workers have found the coronavirus an unexpected disruption of their routines, including shortages of masks, sanitizing wipes, and stress related to dealing with patients who test positive for COVID-19. One Jewish emergency room doctor in Sacramento faced an additional difficulty with an unusual case: A patient wearing swastika tattoos struggled with breathing and begged his physician not to let him die.
7. COVID Superman
If you love Superman comic books and want to pay tribute, why not consider getting this tattoo photos 2020 design? This tattoo symbolizes how medical practitioners and healthcare workers took up superhero roles when confronted by COVID-19. This tattoo design was created with black ink with grey shading effects. It depicts a virus mask with COVID-19 written across it and “F OFF COVID-19”, representing how people worldwide feel after experiencing its pandemic effects.
