3 machines I have been waiting for so long to get re-built! Top right, a Mao that NEVER worked in spite of the fact that I bought it new and sent it twice to get it fixed. Top left, a Sunskin which was the very very first machine I owned, given to be by Filip Leu. And a last one… argh I don’t remember the name of the builder. A young tattoo artist from Pittsburgh if I remember well. I bought it at the LDN convention and it worked pretty for a while. Happy. Thank you S. Turner who rebuilt them and Thomas Hooper for making it happen!
How many people can say their first machines were given to them by Filip Leu? Sheesh.
based on a photograph of the flawless human viviandemilo and the theories of judith butler from gender trouble, which you can find as a full text PDF by clicking right here.

judith butler is brilliant. if you’re interested in gender, gender trouble is a must read.
