Happy Birthday!
I have this line I say to my friends who appreciate wine; "May you age like a fine wine, forever hitting your peak..." I sometimes use it again for the same person, as long as they haven't hit their peak.
If anyone sells that to Hallmark cards, I'm going to be very cross!
Happy birthday! And remember, it doesn't matter how old you are, it's how young at heart you are that counts.
Two Dancing Stars...
As of yesterday, I am officially closer to 40 than I am to 30. It is bittersweet and I wanted to commemorate the occasion by honoring the presence of my two little bright stars... OUCH!!!! Friedrich Nietzsche said, "One must still have chaos in oneself to...
Ask Mo, he's the Champion! :)
Happy B.Day, Ping! I'm born in the night of the 16th and 17th of December, so we indeed have something to share! Very Best from Freezing Paris. nicolas
Thank you Nicholas...
Indeed it is an honor to share a birthday with Mr. Funny Hairy Man himself... Hope yours was memorable. Best to you and yoru family during the holiday season and a happy new year.
If only we could also share the same year of birth... :)
Thanks a lot, Ping, and Best to all of yours! nicolas
Wow my wife and Nicolas both have the same birthday...
So this means everytime I think of Ping's birthday, I'm going to be thinking of Nicolas LOL!! Happy birthdays to the both you! Cheers, Anthony...
Oh wait...
My wife's birthday is on Dec 18th!!! (Just got back from the dinner!) The 3rd star perhaps? Happy Birthday to Ping & Nicholas!
ummm...
what about AT? Everyone tells C that she has THREE children... ;-) Happy Birthday, Ping; it only gets better... TM
The 3rd star is somewhere else :P LOL [nt]

Is that what they call a PITA?
(awkward laugh - we husbands sure know where we are in the hierarchy of things, don't we? )
I'll take your word for it...
...that it only gets better. And yes, AT is like a third child at times. *sigh* being the only adult in the clan is taxing at times but someone has to do it. And I'll get the third one when AT gets his...lol What a chicken.
Ping's been wanting me to get these 2 stars tattooed as well
but I guess I'm a chicken. Maybe some day in the future. - AT
Happy Birthday, Ping
You don't need those stars to announce that you ARE a star . . . .
Thank you Ed! That's super nice of you to say that but...
...mine shines a bit brighter than his...LOL
Happy Birth Day
here we go another Sagitarius I have too many body art by nature ... LOL
Happy Birthday Ping.
Hope AT made a special meal for you on your special day. Best, JerryW
Thank you Jerry!!!
No special meal unfortunately. Not sure if I'd want to eat his cooking...might end up with Ramen noodles for dinner, lol.
Happy Birthday!

Well said Patrick, I totally agree...
Age is just a number and what's in the heart and mind are timeless. Thank you for the thoughtful note and I wish you and your family the best during the holidays and a happy new year.
Happy Birthday and here is mine.....
Dear Ping, Happy Birthday, mine is 18th! And we have the tatoo at the same place on the wrist!...
Hello FayeTP!!
Thank you! And your tattoo is awesome. Does it have special meaning? I have to say I'm excited to hear from a fellow female...not too many here. Hope to read more from you in the future.
Be careful! Tattoos are like potato chips...
...and very addictive, in my experience! Once you have one, you get all sorts of ideas for others. What a great way to celebrate your birthday! I love tattoos. My mother, and some of my friends think I'm crazy to have gone under the (tattoo) gun as many t...
Hmmm....
somehow, it doesn't surprise me (in a good way) that you are into ink! Well done good lady!
:-) My mother would tell you...
...NOT to encourage me! Beauty comes in so many forms -- some of the most gorgeous things IMO are those you can take with you, like watches and tattoos! Who doesn't want to be surrounded by loveliness wherever they go? Cheers, Daos
LOL. I think
most mothers would hold the same view LOL. Another similarity I find in tats and watches...for me at least... its very personal and for self consumption... for me... and both say something of the owner... unfortunately, more so in this part of the world, ...
Mine are located in areas easily covered by clothes
I try not to force my aesthetic choices on others, especially at work. Although, my bosses all know about my tattoos and have seen them. I work in an industry that is full of creative types, so tattoos are fairly common at the office. Daos
You can see my body art culture with a xray (new bone geometry)...
alltough I also have some superficial...ornamentation but they call it stitches and scars... and my parents did not encourage me either....LOL
LOL!
Luc -- you must be more careful! All this daredevil-ing! I'd prefer you to stay in one piece! Of course, certain scars positioned just so, are like catnip to us girls, right? Nothing adds a dash of roguish charm to a man quite like a well-positioned "war"...
Well, you hit the nail: "perfectly positioned war wound"...
never really manage to get that right, Daos. It always ends up differently or not where I wanted it. LOL
The Kanji symbol is a masterpiece, Daos
love the line weight, the way it fades, beautiful. I find there is nothing as fascinating as the line weight dynamism Cheers Luc
Thanks, Luc!
I take that as a very high compliment coming from someone with such a keen eye for design! I hope you've been well, and the holiday spirit is in full swing at your house! Cheers, Daos
Your tattoos are great Daos!!
I love your choices. I know what you mean about tattoos being addictive but I think that's enough for me for now. I have one other one near my ankle. My next mission will be to convince AT to get something. He's such a chicken. Guys, you'd think that they...
There's always room for more!
I'd love to have Mo put some ink on me at some point. His designs are gorgeous. I've got tons of ideas! Thanks for the kind words about my pix! I wonder what kind of tattoo Anthony would get. Hmm... Cheers, Daos
oh gosh... it would then appear that
a couple of more tats at the least will be on the way at some point in time
happy birthday Ping. nice tatts. i have a dragon symbol on my shoulder
i was too cowardly to go for the whole dragon so i just had the chinese symbol for the dragon. i'm considering a dragon on my lower arm so that the claw holds a watch like it holds a pearl, but not sure if it would suit me hope you had a great day, sharin...
Thank you Graham!!
I say go for it! As Daos said, you only live once. I think it would look rather cool. And then you can post pictures and show us. I wish you and your family the best during the holiday season and a happy new year!
i'll give it some thought...
i'll give it some thought Ping. thankyou for your xmas wishes, sadly i'll be on my own, but the family will undoubtedly have a great time without me. the new year is a new start, things can only get better. best Graham
You should fly over here...
spend it with some Purists friends who will surely welcome you with open arms. And we have much nicer weather. It is sunny and warm today!
i greatly appreciate the offer...
i greatly appreciate the offer Ping, but i'll be fine as its started snowing in the last 10 minutes. i love snow especially when it settles immediately like it is now. best Graham
Happy Birthday Ping!
No body art yet to share apart some skillfully broken bones and artisticly decorative stitching but you are giving me ideas for when I get closer to 50 than 40 Cheers Luc
Thank you Luc!!
Yes, you should do it...start thinking of design ideas now. My brother said, "Scars remind us where we've been. They don't have to dictate where we're going." Not completely sure what he was referring to but it sounds good. lol
Nice tattos
Hi Ping I am a little late, sorry I have been to much ocupied at COP15 in Copenhagen . But here it comes: congratulations on the birthday(s all of you) and nice tattoo you have got. I got my first tattoo in OZ together with my ex. I turned 30, we got enga...
Thank you Hans!!
I have to say that it was extremely creative and meaningful to signify your engagement with tattoos, but....yes, a little permanent. I'm sorry that it didn't work out....perhaps next time you may go the traditional route? Or better yet, exchange watches. ...
XMAS
Hi Ping My girlfriend doesnt want to engaged first, she just want to get married...mmmhhh let see. A merry Christmas and a happy new year also to you and yours BR Hans
