What a cute couple!

While we were at the restaurant last night, I looked to my left and saw a very cute couple, early 20s, sitting about three tables away. She was tall, thin, with short black hair and wore a tight-fitting blue shirt; he was equally tall, thin, with red hair and a goatee, wearing pale khakis and a blousy linen shirt.

What caught my attention though, were the two bandages on the back of her neck. They were exactly where the neural ports would go on a Ghost in the Shell style implant, where the ports go on the left and right sides of the spine rather than right above it. He, on the other hand, was reading The Illuminati Trilogy: Leviathan!, with the original Carlos Victor cover art.

I wonder if those two observations were related.

Maybe they were tattoos?

More likely dermal anchors (http://www.bmezine.com/news/pubring/20051014.html) or a nape piercing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nape_piercing).

(Both links potentially squickful if piercing stuff bugs you, although there's no blood or real grossness in either.)

Nah, they were pretty cool. I don't think they were a nape piercing: they were too far apart.
