She's old and she tattoos only things of the past. Her license is the oldest one. Her parlor is old, too, in the dead center of the ethnographic quarter. The parlor window has a built-in view of the sea. When I ask after her tattoo style, she answers: "Traditional nü-US mostly." She owns also Japanese-Korean and Chinese Post-Epidemic but hasn't used them often. Her Australian module has been damaged in the riots. I'm here with her because I'm thlogging about all things of the past.

- 1 -I was conceived by a carpenter with quivering hands in the back of a lumberyard. She was called Anatólia. Some days she had to fix flaws, sawing one or two parts of me again. On other days she hurled chunks of me against the wall, screaming at the bashful furniture she’d built, lined against the far wall. If she knew she’d bestowed consciousness on me with her art, perhaps she’d have other thoughts. I didn’t care.
