Travis Barkerisn’t here for the haters criticizing his collection of tattoos.
The Blink-182 drummer’s inked body has become a signature part of his look, and he continues to embrace them. When Barker, 46, posted a shirtless photo of his body art on Instagram, one critic left a comment to say that the musician will wish he didn’t have so many as he ages.
“The tattoos really look ridiculous, Travis. When you get older, you are going to regret it,” the person said.
