TRAVIS' TATTOOS PICTURES & MEANINGS
What is it about?
Travis is the most tattooed member of blink-182. In fact one might even wonder if he will not one day get into the Guiness World Records book, seeing how fast his body gets inked. Here are some (not all) of his tattoos with their meanings (if any).
He has "Barker" Tattooed on the back of his head along with praying hands. This is related to his mother with whom he had a lot of affection, this tattoos symbolising his prayers to her mother.
Red devil: In order not to forget his "dark side".
The cadillac logo. He did this one at the age of 21. He loves cadillacs, he barely drives anything else. At each side of the logo are the "trucker's ladies"
Boom Box. He grew up in a "break dance" spirit and did this tattoo.
"The boom box on my stomach is because I grew up loving to break-dance, and I collected ghetto blasters. I had like 20 of them. Everyone else would go buy candy and I would buy boom boxes and carry them around and break-dance on the street corner on a piece of cardboard. So i get my favorite boom box that lasted the longest, up until the time I was 19 or 20, tattooed on me when I was 21." - Travis
The bird. He did this one in order to finish covering his right arm. He was at a show in Denver and was bored so he did this one.
Virgin Mary. Symbolising his big faith in God.
The dollar sign, because that's what everything is about.
Jesus, again religious symbol. See above
"Hope" is tattooed at the bottom of his back. Pretty much self explanatory.
"I got it when I was 19, because of the Descendent's' song, but also as a positive thing after my mom passed away" -Travis
This one is special. It represents his first drum set which he got at the age of four. Although the interesting part one should notice, is the crown at the top right of the picture. This tattoo translates into "Drum King", which he arguably is regarding all the distinctions and rewards he got as a drummer!
On his right arm there's "Familia". This of course in reference to "Family" which is the most sacred thing for Travis
A Skull with "13" engraved in the orbitsin order to entreat bad luck.
S.E.L.F M.A.D.E
Self explanatory!
have a sacred heart from when I was 19, because I was brought up Catholic. I also have a microphone, dice, and Jesus. I figured if I tattooed Jesus on me, good things would happen, or maybe he'd have my back or something." -Travis
Melissa, his former wife with whom he got married 9 months is tattooed on his neck.
" I have a Dag Nasty symbol. Thats a band I grew up listening to. And I have 'Can I Say, ' because its the name of their first album. -Travis
