Tattoos

Should you ever forget Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker is ALSO a member of the Transplants, just take a look at his head -- because TB just finished tattooing their logo onto his melon.

Barker recently put the final touches on his head piece ... work that was done by one of the more famous tattoo artists around, Mister Cartoon.

Travis clearly feels pretty committed to the punk rock/rap group these days ... even though it's really just a side project for all its members ... and word is they have a new album coming out soon.

Miley Cyrus was at it again last night -- which with her can mean several things -- but in this case she got another tattoo ... TMZ has learned.

Cyrus showed up at Studio City Tattoo at around 8:00 PM last night with a few friends, including BF Liam Hemsworth (see below).

Miley was the only one of the crew to get inked ... with the phrase "Love Never Dies" on the inside of her left bicep.

Maybe there was a special on clichés.

Rihanna must be a huge Tupac fan ... because she just tatted the words THUG LIFE -- on her fists!

RiRi hit up an LA tattoo parlor yesterday to get her hardcore ink started ... it doesn't look complete in the photo she tweeted out early this morning. It could be a temporary tat, but still ... badass.

Interestingly, the t-shirt she was wearing while she got inked up -- John Lennon's face. Totally thug.

Rihanna also ran into Danny Trejo at the tattoo parlor. Hope she's not inspired by his massive piece of chest art.

Lindsay Lohan is a fan of tattooing words on her body -- because just a few months after she got a Billy Joel song lyric tattooed on her rib cage ... she got a much smaller saying on her left wrist.

According to our sources, LiLo hit up a tattoo parlor on Friday night to get the work done. The impetus for the new ink, we're told, was Lindsay's feeling that she's at a great point in her life ... and she wanted to do something she'd always remember.

Our sources say Lindsay is excited for March 29 to come, because that's the day she will be done with her court-ordered community service.

Perhaps from then on, she won't do anything anyone would regret.

Bam Margera got himself some fresh ink this week – a tattoo of his late pal Ryan Dunn on his right shoulder.

The 23-year-old defensive stud -- who was a rookie when the Packers won the Super Bowl this year -- rolled into the Ultimate Designz tattoo shop in Miami last week ... and pitched his ink idea to tattoo artist Sergio Garcia. He even brought in the ACTUAL ring for Sergio to study.

Sergio tells us it took about 3 hours to draw out the design of the tat (pictured above) -- and a little more than 2 hours to ink it onto Sam.

We're told Shields was a "really nice guy" throughout the whole process -- and even left a fat tip.

Fun Fact: Sam's actual Super Bowl ring has 109 diamonds in it, but his tattoo ONLY has 60 pictured ... because we're told putting that many small diamonds in the tattoo would have been "impossible."

Ronnie endured a six-hour session at Mario Barth's King Ink in Las Vegas earlier this week to complete his heaven and hell themed tattoo. Ronnie's on and off girlfriend, Sammi Sweatheart, was there as well.

The body art was supposed to be an homage to ICP fans -- who call themselves "juggalos." Coolio's tattoo reads "Jugalo Cool" -- ironically one 'G' shy of actually being cool.

The "Angsta's Paradise" rapper isn't losing any sleep -- telling TMZ the typo was done on purpose and he doesn't plan to fix it.

That's no Folex -- the Rolex tattoo on Mark McGrath's torso is unfortunately the real deal ... and according to the Sugar Ray frontman, it's one of his biggest drunken mistakes.
