Travis Barker's New Tattoo May Be His Most Meaningful Yet
Travis Barker just debuted a new tattoo, with a very personal meaning behind it.
On May 21, the Blink-182 drummer took to his Instagram Story to show off his latest ink on his already heavily tatted body. One arm reads "Survivor's" while the next reads "Guilt."
The tattoo is seemingly a reference to Travis surviving a September 2008 plane crash that killed four people, including his assistant Chris Baker and security guard Charles Monroe Still, Jr. The only other survivor of the crash was Adam Goldstein, also known as DJ AM, who died less than one year later from an accidental drug overdose.
The deadly accident occurred when the Learjet taking the group to California crashed on takeoff in Columbia, S.C. Travis, who is currently dating Kourtney Kardashian, has spoken before about the impact the crash had on his life.
"I think back, and I was this little punk, someone I'm not proud of, that's abusing pills every day and taking all this s--t recreationally. And then you look death in the face and you almost die in a plane crash, and then you're actually forced to be on morphine for four months or whatever. It's like 'Oh, how did the tables change?'" he recalled to Billboard in 2015 while promoting his memoir Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums. "Every day since the plane crash is another day I walked away from death. I'm very fortunate."
