stevie tattoo....
 

Just thought id post this and see if anyone had any opinions. I came up with some ideas but nothing definite yet.....

quotes....
"Drowning in the sea of love, where everyone would love to drown.."
"Imagine all the ways to cope, I close my eyes that gives me hope, it cures the silence."
and something with using "Poet, priest of nothing, legend"

then i was thinking of getting the enchanted box set feather and signature.....

ideas are swirling in my head and i know i want one but not 100% sure what.:shocked:

(definitely dont want the TISL dragon....lol)

I especially love the "Drowing in the sea of love where everyone would love to drown" and the feater/sig from the Enchanted package -- that'd be awesome!

Personally, if/when I get a tattoo - it's going to be probably on my wrist and will definitely say: "Dreams unwind, love's a state of mind" but that's just because those words ring very true to me.

You've got some good ideas going!! Does anyone have any Stevie tattoos that they wanna post a pic of?

That is EXACTLY what I want. The only thing I'm not so sure about is the location.... I've really wanted the wrist for quite some time but people are starting to talk me out of it.

I think I want a tiny crescent moon next to it, too.

I'm getting a tattoo a week from today! It's going to me the flower on the greatest hits album with a long vine. The flower will have green shading like the backround of the album has and the lyrics 'Dream on silly dreamer' along the vine. I'm really excited about it! I'll post pictures as soon as I get it done :)

Oooh, crescent moon! That'd be pretty.

I want "Dreams unwind," to be on top and then "love's a state of mind" under it but since mine would be going on the inside of my wrist, I don't think the second line ("love's a state of mind") would fit. I don't know, it might.

Then you've got to start thinking about what color font and what font...
I'm supppppppper white so I think either white ink (semi-invisible?) would look cool or a dark/navy blue. Font will be something cursive-y.
Hahaha I'm getting way ahead of myself...

That sounds awesome!!! Can't wait to see some pictures of it.

I've already got the flower! Will be cool to see your version of it, though. ;)

That's so cool! Where did you get the flower? Do you have any pictures of it?

Got it about 10 years ago on the inside of my left arm...

let me find a pic...

actually I got it in 1998...so it's 11 yrs old now. All this time later? I'm still not happy with it. haha... I would've gotten it larger. It's about the size that it is on the CD cover.

Yea, they told me they were going to make it bigger than it was on the CD cover which I'm happy with! I hope it turns out the way I want it haha.

That's so rock star!!

Yep...with tattoos, bigger does tend to be better. ;)

I am a newbie and obviously don't have a Mac/Stevie tattoo but I did have my favorite verse from "The Severed Garden"/"Feast of Friends/American Prayer by Jim Morrison "Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws" tatooed right below my neck.

i have posted these before, but here they are again:

I'm getting my first the day I turn 18. It's a Tuesday. I'm so excited.

What are some other Stevie-reminiscent images (moons, the Enchanted feather, etc.)?


EDIT: The wild heart symbol. That would look awesome with my "dreams unwind" thing. But I need as mystical as I can get...

I really want 'drowning in the sea of love' tattooed on my wrist. To profess my undying love for "Sara".

isn't it "drownding in a sea of love"?~ lol j/k, i love sara too, but noticed she says "drownding" & i think it's so cute~

:laugh:

It is really cute! I love when she does it on the old performances. I don't think she says it anymore though, or at least I never noticed it on "The Soundstage Sessions" or any live shows from this tour.

I think she still says drownding. I noticed it continue during Unleashed.

I also think she says "mirror" oddly.

Hmm, I haven't noticed. I'm going to have to listen for it.

And I noticed how she said "mirror" weird. It's sort of like "meerur".

I've got "all the same all the same all the same" in black text across my shoulders, and I love it - it's fun watching people trying to read my back and then figure out wtf that's all about. :laugh:

It will eventually turn into a full back piece with Rhiannon themes - the forest of black roses, with the black roses twining up some dark-colored trees and covering the "floor" (with a penguin hidden in there, of course) and the three birds, among some other stuff.

Alas, full back pieces takes many monies and I have none right now, but I dream on, silly dreamer. ;-)

What an amazing idea! I love it, it's so original.

OOOH you just inspired me. I want three tiny birds next to mine. Much better than the moon.

I've been meaning to get a second tatoo for ages. I got the first one 2 days after I turned 18 and I'm 27 now! Some great ideashere, I'llkeep thinking...

on the bella donna album cover stevie is holding a tamborine...she once said that represented "looking through a port hole..choosing to look at life as an optomist..." something of that nature...look it up..it had VERY significant meaning...i think the tamborine w/a bird fllying through it and underneith it.." come in out of the darkness." will help keep me optomistic forever...research it a bit if u like this idea..i ahve been toying w/it for a decade but have yet to do it...good luck w/ur dicision..

Thank you! I want to do something Stevie-esque, but also kinda ambiguous enough to work in other elements if I decide to. I know for sure I don't want to go with a woman to represent Rhiannon, or a horse, so that leaves me a lot of room to play more, I think.

Also, Dani - if you end up doing the birds, I want pics, please!

I was just creepin' on Google Images--because honestly there's no better way to spend a Saturday night!--and found some Stevie tattoos!

If you're going for actually having Stevie on you, then this is pretty cool - love the picture he used for it:

Pretty sure those are based on Johanna Pieterman's work, correct?

Yes'm! You are correct.

i have 'street angel' on my wrist...all sloppy like i hand wrote it
i LOVE it...i will be the o nly person in the world with THAT marking
but i show my love with pride :p

i have a chain on my ankle...it's not a mac tattoo...but the chain bit was mac inspired...actually from the outside the rain line

in some other thread i shared what i want (one of) my next tat to be

"sometimes even i am allowed to fall..."
dont know where that's going to be placed tho

i love quotes
i wanted dream on, siller dreamer around my wrist too
but opted for the SA one coz i want a LOT of the Rhiannon song on my back or quotes all over :eek:

i also want a top hat with a rainbow oozing out of it... :lol:

and a mirror...smashed into 100s of pieces
not really Mac related except Mirror is my fave Stevie cd
and it would just look cool

especially on Landslide
but i love it
that's why i named my cat "Mirror" :lol:
i specifically have stevie in my head SINGING IT
everytime i call her

Wait-- tell me more about the wrist tattoo! I think I want mine on the inside of my wrist but I am TERRIFIED about the pain. Isn't it supposedly one of the most painful places to get one?

I can't believe I'm actually reading that someone else wants a top hat tattoo!!!! Its always been my favorite Stevie accessory...which I, of course, refer to as top hat sex :p I told my boyfriend thats what I wanted and he look at me like I was insane. I'm so happy I'm not the only one.

So, the tattoos I plan on getting are

1) the top hat with the words "the poet in my heart" slightly curving around it
2) Gypsy on the inside of my wrist
3) If I could find a really nice phoenix tattoo...something small but very detailed...I would get that too

and if I could have any tattoo in the world, even though I know she would never in a million years agree to it, I would get Stevie to sign the inside of my other wrist and have it tattooed on...yeah, I know she hates that and would probably yell at me...but it would be worth it :nod:

I think there's some story about a fan doing that and Stevie flipped out on her. Still an awesome idea but Mama wouldn't be happy, you're right :)

lol...I read that story. She made that poor girl cry and everything. Mama would most definitely not be happy at my suggesting it...but I'd be willing to incur her wrath...she'd get over it...eventually :p

there was a story like this~ it was during the bella donna tour & there was i think 3 girls who went to more than one show & one asked stevie to autographe her arm & she did, only for the girl to come back & show stevie she had it tattooed & stevie was pissed~ told the chick she should have never done that~

this story made me think if i got to meet stevie i wouldn't show her my tats~ i wouldn't want to piss her off~

My avatar is my on my right calf facing out, and on inside calf on my left leg is a crescant moon with a dove

i have a butterfly wrap around my left wrist and a stem of yellow rose on the other (under) side. Pain wasn't too bad, I'd do it again. =)
