TimeOut

Are you a mechanical engineer/race car driver or perhaps mechanical engineer/astronaut? I can't imagine why else you have to be of a certain weight.

Any particular wines that you are interested in?

I like wines from Bordeaux, more on the right bank; Pomerol is my best preference, St.Emilion too. But also fond of Margaux, and Pauillac... Best regards, Nien

I recall you saying you were coming to LA this summer. Are you guesting at a tattoo parlor in town while you are here? If so, please PM me, as I would love to talk with you about my next piece of ink. Stylistically, you are very much in line with what I'v... 

Hi Daos, Tattoos, the designs and why people choose them has always intrigued me. I vividly recall talking to a very elderly lady when I was doing undergraduate medical training. Despite her being very frail, she had a sharp mind, a real gleam in her eye ... 

I really liked your recollection about the elderly lady during your school days. It's amazing, isn't it, who has tattoos? It's not always who you think... Tattoos are a legitimate art form, and a well-designed and executed piece is worthy of being appreci... 

Hi Daos Actually I have no idea whether or not there are any secret tattoo aficionados amongst us . The topic of tattoos has never come up, but that is exactly what TimeOut is for I guess. As you say, there are some amazingly striking and beautiful artist... 

.

...are you going to share info. about yours?  Are you one of those secretly tattooed investment bankers or the like?  LOL! 

...there's definitely tons that can be discussed about tattoos.  To answer your question about aging, yes, they can fade over time (particularly if you expose them to the sun) and certain colors don't seem to take as well on some people.  A lot of people ... 

Hi Daos, Thanks for the fascinating technical information. As you said previously, tattoos are a very personal expression, and posting images here may not be entirely appropriate ("comfortable" is probably closer to what I mean). Only you know how people ...

Great read and to hear about your hobbies. It's always so interesting that automobile and watches goes together! -MW

Thanks for the welcome. And you're right about watches and cars. At times the car I'll be driving determines which watch I'll wear, and I'm sure I'm not alone!
