There have been many Madame Tussauds wax figures produced over the decades. And while each one is obviously unique, the most recent one unveiled at the Las Vegas location has its own claim to fame: It is the most tattooed figure in Madame Tussauds’ history. Pay a visit and get your picture with one of the greatest drummers in rock ‘n’ roll: Travis Barker.
A collaboration between Barker and Tussauds—not only did the Blink-182 drummer let the creative team take hundreds of precise measurements of his face and body, and 3D scans of his more than 100 tattoos—the figure is clothed in a wardrobe supplied by Barker himself: An all-black outfit, including a leather jacket, boots, pants and a studded belt, accentuated by silver jewelry—nose rings, chain necklace and replicated wedding ring (Barker is married to Kourtney Kardashian, who also has a Madame Tussauds wax figure).
Given the importance of Barker’s tattoos, it took the team nine weeks to stencil and color Barker’s head and seven weeks for his body. But the results? Barker said it best: “I’m honored. I’m flattered, I’m shocked. It looks so (expletive) real!”
Barker joins a distinguished cast of figures you can currently see in Las Vegas, including Bad Bunny, Dwayne Johnson and Megan Thee Stallion.
