Staggeringly, an approximate 70% of the Blink-182 drummer's body is covered, having got his first tat when he was just 15-years-old. The exact number of tattoos is constantly growing - and Travis has got a number of new ones in tribute to his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, who he married this summer. Explaining what his philosophy is when getting tats, he said: "For me it's documenting part of my life or people, things, times in my life. When I'm dead and gone I want people to be able to look at my body and basically relive my life in some ways."

It was actually his sister who grassed him up after he annoyed her one day, and his livid dad shouted: "You'll have no Plan B. You have tattoos like that, and you're f****d. You won't be able to get a job." But it actually did the opposite for Travis, who said a light bulb went off in his head, adding: "It really narrowed things down for me in the best way possible. Play music or die." His dad did eventually come round and actually got a Famous Stars and Straps tattoo when he was in his 60s. The first ones he got were a Bones tattoo and a Dag Nasty flame, from the rock band, on top of it, which he has now sadly lost.
