Travis Barker has added to his extensive tattoo collection, getting an image of a hawk on his foot in honour of the late Taylor Hawkins.

The Foo Fighters drummer, who passed away on March 25, was immortalized on Barker's body by celebrity tattoo artist Mark Mahoney.

"HAWK forever," reads the caption of an Instagram post by Barker, which also shows a gallery of himself getting inked alongside a photo of the two drummers together evidently from years ago.

Barker had previously shared a tribute to his fellow drummer, writing, "Sad to write this or to never see you again. I'll never forget Laguna Beach days when I was a trash man playing in a punk rock band and you were playing with Alanis. You'd come watch me play in dive bars and be like, 'kid you're a star.' And I thought you were crazy but you gave me so much hope and determination."
