Why Did Clia Daponte Get Her Shooting Star Tattoo On Her Hand Rather Than Her Wrist Like Everybody Else In Her Family?

All of the female descendants of Clia Foster, at least so far, have a natural streak in their hair. Nearly all of them observe a personal right of passage to get a shooting star tattoo – or in the cases of later generations toward the 22nd century – nanotattoo.

Many of you who read the series have noticed that Greta’s eldest daughter, Clia Daponte, opted to have her shooting star nanotattooed on the back of her hand between her thumb and index finger, rather than the inside of her wrist, like her mother Greta, grandmother Nadia, aunt Lenore, and great-grandmother, also named Clia, and whom she got her name from – having been born exactly 100 years to the day Clia Foster was born.

In the future of the Nobody’s Property universe, they are applied by injecting nanomachines at a single point, rather than injecting ink over a larger area, and the nanomachines create a design under the dermal layer – hence why people with nanotattoos rather than traditional ink designs in Nobody’s Property sometimes feel a warm tingle when their tattoos are maintaining themselves,
