Blink 182’s Travis Barker Puts Tattoo Hater In Place

If you’ve ever gotten a tattoo or know someone who loves them, it’s common knowledge that their tattoos are sacred to them, and criticizing them is a big no-no.

Which makes it all the more surprising when this literal internet stranger decided to criticize Travis Barker of all people for his tattoos on Instagram.

Travis had uploaded a black and white image of himself where he was looking sideways and not wearing a shirt, giving prominence to his body part.

This was when user @moogoganpan decided to join a party that he wasn’t invited to and said, “The tattoos really look ridiculous, Travis. When you get older, you are going to regret it.”

The last line specifically felt like it had come straight from a boomer’s mouth and triggered a visceral response in all of us.

The Blink 182 star who is already 46 years old was having none of it.

“When I’m older I’m probably gonna hang out with other badass tattooed dudes and generally look awesome. What are you gonna do when you just look like every other old person?”

People in the comments came immediately to his defense and in fact, praised the tattoos that he had.

They loved the art and the compositions of his 'wonderful tattoos'.

What else did the hater expect when he thought he could dunk on Blink 182's drummer and get away with it?
