20 Things Only Blink-182 Fans Understand

8. Can I Say

Whatever your feelings on tattoos, you can€™t deny that Travis€™ look is awesome, and diehard blink fans often take him as a source of inspiration for starting to get their own work done. And if not, then at least familiarising themselves with some of the work he€™s had done. Travis is obviously a man who is all about his family and his friends; he€™s got a place for his children€™s name on his body, a memorial for his mother, and places for his two friends, Chris and Che, who died in the 2008 plane crash, as well as covering his left thigh with a memorial to DJ AM. His body is a work of art, and it€™s only been getting more and more impressive as the years have gone by.

7. Defying Gravity

Every band likes to put on a good live show, that goes without saying. Some bands are willing (and financially able) to go the extra mile, bringing in lasers, pyrotechnics, and pulling out all the stops. Not many, though, have a drummer who could keep playing the hell out of his instrument without missing a beat whilst being spun in the air on a rotating platform. That takes some skill, and if you€™ve been to one of their live shows and seen it happen, you know there€™s nothing quite like it.
