Yick.

In SR terms, that would be hard as hell to legislate, way too many sinless.

Not to mention the modern day groups who frown on ANY sort of body
tattooing, as a result of WW2. While the SR timeline may be 62 years ahead,
that is one thing I doubt would lessen by then.

Barcoded metahumans... With the tech available to the populace, I can
easily see 'forged' barcodes.

Removing barcodes to be a Shadowrunner?
