Travis Barker Inks New Tattoo In Honor Of Foo Fighters' Taylor Hawkins

Travis Barker is honoring Taylor Hawkins in his own special way.

The blink-182 drummer may be no stranger to sentimental tattoos, but on Wednesday (April 13) he unveiled some new ink paying tribute the late Foo Fighters drummer, who passed away March 25 at the age of 50. Taking to Instagram, he shared photos of the process of getting a hawk tattoo inked on the top of his foot, encouraged by fiancée Kourtney Kardashian who is also seen giving him a kiss in one picture.

"HAWK forever 🦅," he captioned the pics, tagging tattoo artist Mark Mahoney. The final photo in the carousel is a throwback pic of both drummers in mid-conversation.

Hawkins unexpectedly passed away March 25 at the age of 50 while the Foo Fighters were on tour in South America. They have since canceled all upcoming show dates as they deal with the devastating loss. While new details surrounding his death have been released, his cause of death has not been revealed. The band announced his unexpected passing on social media:

"The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins. His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever. Our hearts go out to his wife, children and family, and we ask that their privacy be treated with the utmost respect in this unimaginable difficult time."

Following news of Hawkins' tragic passing, Barker shared his disbelief at losing a friend in a heartfelt post on Instagram.

"I don't have the words. Sad to write this or to never see you again," he said, sharing a black-and-white photo of a smiling Hawkins. "I'll never forget Laguna Beach days when I was a trash nan playing in a punk rock band and you were playing with Alanis. You'd come watch me play in dive bars and be like, 'kid you're a star.' And I thought you were crazy but you gave me so much hope and determination."

He continued, "Years later we toured together with Blink and Foo's in Australia and I have the best memories of smoking cigarettes in the restroom of flights we were on together and watching your set every night. To say I'll miss you my friend isn't enough. Till the next time we talk drums and smoke in the boys room ... Rest In Peace 😢🥁💔"
