Here's What Travis Barker's Tattoos Really Mean

Travis Barker has quite a few names tattooed on his body, including that of his girlfriend, "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star Kourtney Kardashian (via People). He has also had the names of both of his ex-wives tattooed on him. The tattoo he got for his first wife, Melissa Kennedy, has been covered up. The one for his second wife, Shanna Moakler, was still etched in his skin as of 2015. "I don't know if I'm going to cover it up, but I've thought about it," he told Vice that year.

There's also his "pal" tattoo, a matching piece he got with his dad that shares their nickname for each other. "It was funny, 'cos growing up he said 'If you ever get a tattoo, I'm gonna kick your ass and kick you out of the house,'" he told Vice. "But many years later — 20 years — Pops had some tattoos of his own. It's awesome. My mum passed away when I was 12, so my relationship with him is so important." 

Barker also has his mom's name, Gloria, on the base of his neck. Of course, he has the names of his two children on his wrists, with Alabama on the left and Landon on the right (per Body Art Guru). He even has his own initials, TLB, on his right forearm.
