Gonna get a Tyrell Corp/Roy Batty Serial number inspired tattoo, but I don't understand the formatting on the serial number. Can anyone break down what the serial number means section by section?

Roy's serial number is N6MAA10816.

N6 is because he's a Nexus 6 model.

M because he's male.

AA is his Physical and Mental rating, both A.

10816 is his inception date. 1 - Jan, 08 - 8th, 16 - 2016

Oh my gosh, this is such a good idea now I want to do this too! Rachel is a Nexus 7, right? My name is Rachel so I love the idea of getting a tattoo inspired by her.

You can see the serial number onscreen briefly in 2049. (I just rewatched it) It does begin N7.

Oh nice!!! I think it’s so cool she’s an N7. I want to see that scene you’re talking about, just gives me another reason to rewatch (like I needed any additional incentive!)

Notably absent- all the dullards who constantly say "Dates in Europe are superior" and claim that Roy was born on October 8.

Glad I came across this post. My DJ name is Deckard and I have thought over the years about getting some sort of tattoo but nothing struck me. This seems perfect. Thanks for the suggestion OP!
