Travis Barker shows off new tattoo of Kourtney Kardashian inked on his thigh

Travis Barker has shown his commitment to wife Kourtney Kardashian by having a giant tattoo of her eyes inked on to his skin. The Blink-182 drummer has been documenting his life through tattoos since he was 15-years-old - and now has about 70 per cent of his body covered in ink.

This latest tattoo, by artist Steve Wiebe, sits above an 'In memory" tattoo on his upper right thigh. The 47-year-old debuted it on Instagram over the weekend in a series of snaps showing him crouching behind his wife's derrière and pulling up his shorts to reveal it to the camera. Travis and Kourtney tied the knot in front of friends and family in Santa Barbara, California, last year after a seven-month engagement.

But this isn't the only tattoo he has had inked in tribute to Kourtney as he got her name inked above his heart in April 2021 when they had only been together for four months.

In October last year, Travis sealed his love with a kiss and had a print of Kourtney's lips inked on his arm to cover up one of his ex's names.

According to Us Weekly, Kourtney pressed her lips to a piece of paper and Travis then transferred the lipstick mark on to his body.

His followers are also convinced his 'You're So Cool!' tattoo, the title of the lead track from the 1993 film True Romance, is written in Kourtney's handwriting.

Travis has previously told how he likes to mark his life's milestones in tattoos because he "wants people to be able to look at his body and relive his life in some way" after his death.

His first ones were a Bones tattoo and a Dag Nasty flame, from the rock band, on top of it, which he has now sadly lost.

Some of his most prominent tats is the words 'Can I Say' across his chest, which is the title of his 2015 autobiography and a personal motto of sorts, and the race flag pattern on his neck, which reportedly stands for the year of his favourite Cadillac.

The star has a number of go-to artists who are close friends, but he also had let his kids, London and Alabama, have a go on him with the tattoo gun.

He told GQ in 2016: "I have this portion on my thigh where basically anytime I get tattooed, if they're around and they want to, they can grab the gun and doodle on me. It's like a sketchbook.

"Those are the memories that are really priceless. It all started because Landon wanted a tattoo. He didn't understand why he couldn't.

"He was worked up and in tears. I had to explain that I'd go to jail if you get a tattoo. So I said 'Let's make a deal, you tattoo me.'."
