Travis Barker Covers Up Shanna Moakler Tattoo, Debuts New Ink Inspired By Fiancée Kourtney Kardashian
A fresh start!
Travis Barker got some new ink over the weekend — and although the rocker is heavily tatted, his new pieces have a special meaning.
The 45-year-old first got an imprint of his fiancée Kourtney Kardashian’s lips, and followed it up with a black scorpion. The scorpion serves as a cover for the heart inscribed with ex Shanna Moakler’s name that he used to have on his arm — it also references his astrological sign.
The Blink-182 drummer got both pieces on his forearm. “Scorpio season. On @travisbarker… Lips straight from the mouth of @kourtneykardash,” tattoo artist Scott Campbell captioned a snap of his designs via Instagram. “Congrats you two ✨🖤💍🖤✨.” (The rocker also has “Kourtney” inked in script above his left nipple.)
Ditching the last remnant of his ex comes shortly after Barker and Kardashian announced their engagement. “Forever @travisbarker,” the Poosh founder captioned a series of snaps via Instagram on Sunday, October 17.
Barker popped the question at The Rosewood Miramar Beach Hotel in Montecito, Calif., surrounded by rose petals and candles in the shape of a heart, as well as a camera crew — OK! learned the momentous occasion will appear on the Kardashian’s upcoming Hulu reality series.
The father-of-two proposed after nearly one year of dating, with the two going Instagram Official last February on Valentine's Day. Barker and Kardashian had been friends for years before taking things to the next level.
This marks the 42-year-old reality star’s first engagement. Kardashian shares three children with ex Scott Disick: Mason, 11, Penelope, 9, and Reign 6.
Barker was previously married to Melissa Kennedy from 2001-2002 and Moakler from 2004-2008. He shares two children with Moakler: Landon, 18 and Alabama, 15.
For her part, Moakler appears to be unbothered by her ex’s engagement, sharing a cryptic message on social media following the news. "Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. ⚓️," the former Miss New York captioned a photo of herself via Instagram on Thursday, October 22.
