Dit zijn de "Tattoo Meanings" van Travis Barker. Dus het verhaal achter de verschillende tattoos die Travis heeft. Ik heb dit niet vertaald naar het Nederlands, omdat ik het zo mooier vindt. Travis zegt namlelijk zelf wat er achter de verschillende tatoos zit. Dus hij gebruikt bepaalde Amerikaanse uitspraken die te moeilijk zijn om te vertalen en dan klopt het misschien niet meer met wat er eigenlijk mee bedoeld wordt. Dus daarom laat ik het zo.
The race flag:
"The race flag on my neck is for the year of my favorite
Cadillac. I got that three ago. I also have Japanese flowers on
the back of my neck. I don't even know what they look like,
because I can't see back there. But I have a heat that says 'Mom'
with the flowers."
Cadillac Emblem:
"I got a Cadillac emblem when I was 21, because I collect
Cadillacs. I don't drive any other cars."
Can I Say:
" I have a Dag Nasty symbol. Thats a band I grew up
listening to. And I have 'Can I Sat, ' because its the name their
first album.
Scared heart, a
microphone, dice, and Jesus:
"I have a scared heart from when I was 19, because I was
brought up Catholic. I also have a microphone, dice, and Jesus. I
figured if I tattooed Jesus on me, good things would happen, or
maybe he'd have my back or something."
The Boom Box:
"The boom box on my stomach is because I grew up loving to
break-dance, and I collected ghetto blasters. I had like 20 of
them. Everyone else would go buy candy and I would buy boom boxes
and carry them around and break-dance on the street corner on a
piece of cardboard. So i get my favorite boom box that lasted the
longest, up until the time I was 19 or 20, tattooed on me when I
was 21."
Bones:
"My first tattoo was the word "Bones" on my leg. I
got it when I was 17, because it was my nickname when I was a
kind."
Familia, Bird,
Flowers, and Self Made:
" I got 'familia' tattooed on my arm when i was 20, which is
obviously fir my family. I have a bird that I just got for the
hell of it. It was a good-looking bird. Then I was in Denver and
I was bored and wanted to get tattooed to finish my arm up. So I
just went into the place and said 'Give me that.' And then, this
guy Bugs me that [flower on his arm]. He specialized in tulips.
I'm not a flower guy, but it's an honor to get a tattoo from him,
because he won't even tattoo you if he doesn't like you. And I
have 'self-made' on my knuckles from 2000, because I've worked
for everything I have. I don't really have anyone to thank for my
hand through it all, and making me what I am."
Trucker ladies,
spark plugs, and hope:
"I have trucker ladies on my chest from when I was 22. I
kind of like 'white-trash' art, just the whole style. I have
spark plugs 'cause I'm into cars--there's like a holy one and an
evil one. I have the word ;hope' written on my back. I got it
when I was 19, because of the Descendent's' song, but also as a
positive thing after my mom passed away."
His lucky right
arm:
"My right arm is like my good luck arm. It has everything--
a deck of cards, drumsticks, a martini glass, a dollar sign, my
lucky number seven, my initials, and a rabbit's foot. I have a
devil that was off of Black Label skateboards. I was into
skateboarding when I was 22, so I got it. It healed really badly,
but I refused to get it touched up. I don't want to touch up any
of my stuff. It just looks rad."
