Okay, if there's ever a place for a topic on a stevie themed tattoo... this is the place lol ;)
first of all, I just want to introduce myself to you guys
I'm Andy :-) been a Stevie Nicks fanatic for literally just a year! I know, I know don't stone me to death lol, I know i'm a little late, but blame it on Madonna and Kylie... they kept me distracted :p
So yes, I knew Fleetwood Mac (everyone knows FM!) but was never really into them much, loved 'Dreams' like everyone else, and 'The Chain', 'Everywhere','Little Lies' etc and as for Stevie I knew she was a pretty big cheese but I only knew her as 'The Mystical One' :p
So one day i bought myself the 2 disc greatest hits and I loved every song, but it was Stevie's that were really enticing me, i'd play the next track and as soon as i heard her inconic voice, I was like "It's Stevie again! Better pay more attention!!" lol I just fell in love with her, especially her awesome track 'Sisters of the Moon' I loved it so much i jumped on youtube to find her perform it live and I was gobsmacked! (it was the 'speaking in tongues' performance from the Mirage Tour 82) so that was it for me... went and bought every Mac album, every Stevie album, found the BuckinghamNicks LP, and one of my friends got me the 'Enchanted' collection which i was thrilled with... it was only then did the world of Stevie's demos make itself clear to me. I thought I had heard every Stevie song but I was wrong, so much of her best work is hiding away, it's a shame, beautiful songs like 'Forest of the Black Roses' (which from my username you can tell I obsess over :p),'3 Birds of Rhiannon', 'Mistaken Love', 'Watch Devil', 'Sanctuary' - just so powerful, and it's songs like these that are missing from the music charts right now (detesting Lady Gaga! If people want originality they should go and seek out Kate Bush & Grace Jones - don't get more original than those 2!!)
Anyway I decided to join you happy bunch of enthusiasts (lol) because i'm sorta alone here in my adoration of Stevie... I'm 21 and no one I know (with exception of my mother) likes Stevie or FM for that matter, especially people my age - i'm kinda the odd one out these days lol, same with Whitney Houston and Madonna- no one likes them either... one's a crackhead, the other's a fossil as far as my friend's are concerned, but to me they form part of :angel: THE HOLY TRINITY :angel: - the third part being George Michael... an absolute poet, he matches Stevie in that aspect ;)
Anyway I digress major style haha, so here I am and hope you don't all tear into me when I have no idea what you're on about (I mean you guys really know your stuff!!! i'm such a novice compared :p)
Anyway, anyway, anyway that was a long introduction lol!
so.............
I am planning to get a new tattoo and of course I want it to have Stevie as a theme, i'm thinking pretty big, perhaps covering both my arms and meeting on my chest. What I'm really looking for is lyrics from her songs, any songs, just lines that are memorable and thought provoking, lyrics that would be great for tattoos... so if anyone knows Stevie lyrics it's you guys, right? let's hope so anyway lol
and for each of the lyrics I want drawings to accompany the words, for instance...
I was thinking of having these lyrics from Storms, "But never have I been a calm blue sea... I have always been a storm", going down and wrapping around my arm, with a galleon ship floating in the sea at the top, and the ship's wreckage after a sea storm at the bottom, with a mermaid weeping.
Like Stevie I love the sea, and what I was thinking for my chest would be a crest with the words Stevie Nicks scrolled underneath... for example this crest.....

... Alter the face to resemble Stevie more and perhaps add a quill, of course these are all just ideas for now, and I would love you all to participate in this so i'll accept any suggestions and ideas you may have, or general tattoo ideas and if you want to share your fav lyrics you'd think would be good plastered to my body i would be very much obliged :)
thankyou x
