Samantha Barry, the editor of Glamour magazine, got a small depiction of the New York City skyline, a homage to the walks that kept her going. “We will talk about 2020 when we are old and gray, and now I have something on my body that symbolizes where I was,” she said. Rachael Sunshine, a 44-year-old with a degenerative nerve disease, survived Covid-19 twice. She got a tattoo of a heart surrounded by coronavirus spike proteins, which is the logo of a group that connects survivors. “The tears were just coming down my eyes,” she said. Katie Tompkins, who works for a medical lab, took a different approach. For her first tattoo, she got a little toilet paper roll. “I wanted to have something to look at and go, ‘Oh my God, remember when all that crazy stuff happened?’” she said. “It’s my way of bringing light to a not great situation.” PLAY, WATCH, EAT What to Cook David Malosh for The New York Times.
