I thought I'd post this because it's sort of music related. I thought it was pretty cool, but I don't think it's a real tattoo. I think it's Photoshopped because the neck of the guitar wouldn't be that straight with her neck turned. But it would make a really cool tattoo.

Interesting image, Hermit. Just FYI, it's a play on Man Ray's famous photograph, itself a repurposing of another, older piece.

Wow, I didn't know they could show butt cracks in the 1920's...in the United States. People in our country are so easily offended. Thanks for the info! -

Never mind. That post just needs to be omitted. No good seems to be coming from it. I thought it would shine a light on thought and apparently I was wrong. Reported myself.

Didn't mean to start anything... sorry. Yeah, a pictures thread wasn't a place for it. Here's something that is far more interesting (found on http://www.vinylengine.com ):

I give up on vinyl then. My hand isn't steady enough to clean the grooves with a 1000x microscope.

Wood glue, micro-sonic cleaning, steam cleaning, an LP cleaner or even a combination of the above does the work for you maximillion. Your hand will only release more microscopic unwanted artifacts that you see above. Vinyl done right is as blissful to the ears as tubes done right can be.

Meant the comment in jest. But, getting the pops out of vinyl is a bit of a chore. I've been reading a bunch on the subject since there's lots of info here and other sites. Currently in the process of building my own vacuum system (already have a Spin Clean) and using Tergitol, so no need to go into it further in this thread.
Here's one such thread:

I used to work in a class 100 clean room cleaning optics. In your every day listening room dust particles are every where and will
land on your LP just after cleaning. There will also be dust particles on your turntable platter. All the commercial clothes will add more particles to the LP and platter. In the clean room we purchased cloths that had no particulates and they were very expensive. During optic cleaning a 30 minutes rinse with deionized water, DI, was a very good method of cleaning.
All I'm saying is particulates will be on every ones LP. Live with it. -

That's Leah Jung. Not only is she stunning, she has a great soul.
While I was getting some work done in New York, I was fortunate enough to meet her and hang out while she was working. Also got to spend some time with her a couple months later at a convention. Really, really sweet lady. If you have instagram @leah-jung
