TRAVIS'S 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. |



 |
Praying
Jesus. 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! |


 |
|
I have a scared
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 Sat, ' because its the name
of their first album. -Travis |
