Travis Barker has unveiled his new wax figure at Madame Tussauds. Blink's drummer stopped by the Las Vegas branch of the celebrity waxwork museum to take a look at his wax double while the band was in the area for the “When We Were Young” festival this past weekend.
Barker was asked how he felt about the piece and said,
“I’m honored. I’m flattered, I’m shocked. It looks so f**king real.” The new figure is the “most tatted figure ever created by Madame Tussauds”, as real-life Travis has over 100 tattoos. His head took two weeks to create and his body took seven weeks.
Travis posted some of his own photos on Instagram, writing, “Come say hi to my clone @madametussaudsusa.”
According to the press release, Barker worked closely with the Madame Tussauds team of sculptors, colorists, hairdressers and stylists to produce his wax figure, which is now the most-tattooed installment ever created by the museum. Each of his 100-plus tats was closely matched using 3D scanning, with the stenciling and coloring processes taking approximately nine weeks total.
