The topic was strictly about what Creed items you got this holiday season. Not about whatever bible drivel you guys are going on about. Take it to the faith board.

I bought my self The Creed DVD for Chirstmas, and opened it when I got it like I was surprised. I don't understand all the hate for it, I really love the DVD and it melted my face off, but matter of opinion I guess. Opinions are like assholes, everyones got em' and they all stink!!

Re: A Creed Christmas
 

Heres Mine. Same design but reversed ink pattern. I also added a cross that says One King from WTLF.

Re: A Creed Christmas
 

Wow! Your tattoo is awesome as well. Well, when I chose this design for my tattoo, I wanted to get it on my right arm - on the same place you got yours - but I found out that my arm is not big enough because I don´t have any bigger muscles on it. And I also wanted my tattoo to look almost same like the picture I found on the Net, but I had to make a compromise - I will either have the contour of that image with some shading inside and around of it or only have that image inked black. So I chose the second alternative. And I guess my tattoo would probably look like yours when I chose the first one. Anyway, I think both alternatives are pretty cool. And it´s the interesting idea with adding the cross and the legend saying One King bellow the tattoo, I like the type of that font it´s written by. :)

Re: A Creed Christmas
 

Thanks bro. How long did it take the tattooist to do it?
Mine was 4-5 hours.
I was thinking about incorporating the Creed swirl logo that they were using before the Crest, but then I thought maybe it might be too much..

Re: A Creed Christmas
 

Well, I guess it took nearly 2,5 hours, so it was OK. You´re saying it took 4-5 hours to do your tattoo? Wow, it was quite long, wasn´t it? Did it pain you a lot or not at all?
And what swirl logo are you speaking of? Is that this one?

Re: A Creed Christmas
 

Yea. That's the one. I was thnking of adding that, but then it may look a bit overdone... What do you think?
Yea 5 hours was a long time, but if you look at it closely he added a lot of lines that gave the drawing a 3d look...espeially on the outer curves and points.. Then it took awhile for him to do the fading. By the 4th hour my arm was getting irritated bc of not only the pain but when he was clean it with the alcohol or whatever it was it burned like heck.
I originally wanted it like yours, but he said if we did it this way it would give it more of a 3d affect, but I think both ways look really nice. Mine has a cool 3d affect while yours has a cool sharp tribal look.
But now you got me wondering about the swirl... :)

Re: A Creed Christmas
 

Hmm... I think the swirl logo may look nice on your body as well, but I wouldn´t put it bellow the cross with One King but I would put it at the other place, maybe on your left arm or leg, or at your back... because I agree with you that otherwise it may look a bit overdone.
Anyway, I think it´s perfect the way it was done. That 3d effect is very impressive. And the tattooist that had the idea with the 3d effect... did he show you at his computer or at whatever other machine how your tattoo will look like when it will be finished? My tattooist couldn´t do that, so I didn´t know how it will exactly look like. I had to imagine that in my mind.
Do you have any other tattoos related with Creed on your body?
And on a side note, do you know who made that Creed crest and that swirl logo? I guess it was Mark´s brother, Dan, wasn´t it? (or correct me if I´m wrong).

Re: A Creed Christmas
 

hey!
I'm not sure about the swirl, but I think the crest had something to do with Brian Marshall... He's had the crest tattooed on his arm since the beginning I think...
Yea I hear ya on the swirl. Maybe I'll get it somewere else. I don't have anymore Creed tattoos; however on my other arm I have a Cross of nails with the Christian fish around it-- another 3dish type of tattoo.
I didn't see my tattoo on the computer screen. My tattooist I guess kind of knows my style. He showed me a few tattoos that he's done in the past that had similar effects. We didn't actually know we were going to do itlike that until the stencil was finished on my arm. He said if we do all black it'll look more tribal and sharp, but if we did the shading around it it would give it a 3d pop out look. He explained it to me with other tattoos he did.
Either way looks hot.
My next tattoo is either going to be a torn under the skin John 316 text that's going to show muscle tissue and ligaments and stuff or a really cool alpha omega symbol.

Re: A Creed Christmas
 

Thanks for your thoughts about the crest. I´ve already seen Brian´s tattoo on his arm, maybe it has someting to do with his former band called Mattox Creed. I´m just curious who made that interesting shape of the crest.
Well, I think your tattooist was maybe better and more adept than mine... but I don´t mind, I´m satisfied with the way he´s done it.
Oh, you´re about to get next tattoo, that´s nice. Personally I wasn´t thinking about getting my next tattoo for the present, but maybe later I found some next design that somehow took me. ;) Please let me know when you get your new tattoo, I´ll be glad to view it. Thanks.

Re: A Creed Christmas
 

The Creed reunion was the best present of all. Though it came a year early.

Re: A Creed Christmas
 

how much did they charge you?

Re: A Creed Christmas
 

Yeah, you got that right.
