Mexican artist gives free tattoos to #COVID19 survivors

Mexican tattoo artist Omi Debua has been giving COVID-19 survivors a free tattoo. He exhibited his skills on Saturday, by tattooing a coronavirus survivor in his studio in Monterrey. "It feels great to be able to give a tattoo to a person who survived a disease that is very strong here in Mexico," he said. "Have a lot of patience and follow the recommendations given by your doctor. And if you recover and want a tattoo, contact me." Debua could be seen preparing the stencil for the tattoo, reading "COVID-19 SURVIVOR," before placing said stencil on Reyna's arm, and tattooing him. Reyna on the other hand spoke about his experience with the virus, revealing that his father was hospitalised and that he was afraid to lose him. "He was admitted and was very bad, I worried too much about him, I did come to think that I was going to lose him, but thank God, I did not." "Maybe it didn't hit me that hard, but I just understood it when I saw my father on the hospital gurney, who was convalescing, it did hit me very hard," he added. Mexico has reported over 595,800 cases of coronavirus since the start of the outbreak, according to statistics gathered by Johns Hopkins University. Over 64,000 have died with the virus.
