Blink Ink: All Time Low's Jack Barakat reveals the tale of his tattoo

Alternative Press - Tim Karan on 6/2/09 @ 1:20 PM - altpress.com

In our "Band Who Changed My Life" special in AP 252, ALL TIME LOW frontman ALEX GASKARTH gushes about his icons BLINK-182. But he isn't the only ATL member obsessed with Blink. Guitarist JACK BARAKAT reveals how he and drummer RIAN DAWSON ended up with matching Blink ink:

"We were on tour with Boys Like Girls in Canada last summer and Rian [Dawson, drums] decided he wanted to get his first tattoo. He got the Blink-182 bunny on his arm and we filmed the whole thing and put it online for kids to see. The next day Mark Hoppus wrote about it on his blog and we all flipped the fuck out. At the end of last year, I decided I wanted my first tattoo to be a Blink tat, so I got the same bunny on my arm. It represents Blink-182--the reason I play music--but it also represents the awesome bond I have with my bandmates." --Jack Barakat

It's good to know that a band as great at ATL has a strong bond. That better mean you guys aren't going anywhere soon!

All Time Low's dedication to Blink is like my dedication to them. And the tattoos are the shit. (:

I have the bunny tattoo on my forearm, and it was also my first tattoo. I don't listen to ATL's music, but it is awesome to see other fans out there who love the blink as much as I have. Can't wait for the three chances I get to see them on tour! word.
