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.

698Justin Bieber's Bodyguard -- Unleashes Fist of Fury on Photog [VIDEO] | TMZ.com
Justin Bieber's bodyguard put down an over-agressive photog with one serious haymaker at LAX Monday afternoon ... and the whole melee was caught on tape.
TMZ obtained video of the altercation between the Bieb's protector and the paparazzo -- not one of our guys -- and when the clip begins the bodyguard already has the pap in a headlock.
After several moments of grappling, the photog breaks free to square off with the bodyguard -- BIG mistake ... 'cause that's when the bodyguard uncorks a straight right to the photog's face.
As TMZ first reported, according to Bieber's camp the altercation began when the pap jumped in front of Bieb's SUV and refused to stop snapping pics.
The pap was arrested and booked for felony assault with a deadly weapon. Police believe the fight started when he used his camera to hit the bodyguard.
The bodyguard's battle scars are pretty clear in the photos from the scene.

Norwegian Muslims' reactions to the mass killings
Michael Jackson to Daughter Paris: Never Forget!
Michael Jackson's lasting advice to his only daughter was simple.
"He said, 'If I die tomorrow, always remember what I told you.' I took his advice, and I remembered everything he told me," Paris Jackson, 13, told Ellen DeGeneres.
The King of Pop shaped Paris' life in fundamental ways, from her desire to pursue acting to far more important lessons, she reveals in the interview, airing Thursday.
Here's a clip of Paris Jackson on Ellen:
"My dad was in the movie Moonwalker; I knew he could sing really well but I didn't know he could act. I saw that and I said, 'Wow, I want to be just like him,'" says Paris.
The female Jackson recently scored her first film role. A family rep confirmed she has a role in the upcoming fantasy movie Lundon's Bridge and the Three Keys.
"We would do improv together," she adds. "He would give us little scenarios. He would go, 'Okay, in this scene you're going to cry,' and I'd cry on the spot."
Paris also talks about wearing a mask as a child, which she admits was odd.
"I'm like, 'This is stupid, why am I wearing a mask?' " she says. "But I realized the older I got, like, he only tried to protect us. And he'd explain that to us, too."
When she enrolled at the prestigious Buckley School, she appreciated it.
"I have a normal childhood. I'm treated the same," she says. "When I came to [school], they didn't know who I was. I was like, yes, I have a chance to be normal."
All in all, Paris seems like a smart, grounded, well-raised young woman. For all the negative things said about MJ, he was apparently perennial Father of the Year.
Ashton Kutcher
It has come to this for Ashton Kutcher:
The moronic actor - who got in trouble last night for lamenting the firing of Joe Paterno without knowledge that the coach was fired due to his role in a child rape cover-up - has actually hired a team to edit his own thoughts.
Help! I can't control my own thoughts!
Kutcher will no longer make his Tweets live without others reading them over first.
"Up until today I have posted virtually everyone of my tweets on my own, but clearly the platform has become to big to be managed by a single individual," blogged Kutcher, who has eight million followers. "While I will continue to express myself through @Aplusk I'm going to turn the management of the feed over to my team at Katalyst Media to ensure the quality of it's content."
Ashton also once again apologized for his ignorant Tweet regarding Paterno. What a narcissistic idiot.

Kate Hudson
Most people are familiar with Kate Hudson's mother, Oscar-winning actress Goldie Hawn.
But almost no one knows the identity of this star's father, something Bill Hudson is aiming to change with his upcoming memoir, "So You Are a Star."
In the book, this Michael Lohan wannabe rails against his daughter for allegedly not spending time with her Alzheimer's disease-afflicted grandmother, writing: "I love Kate, but... She has done stuff which is just awful. She is a spoiled brat and at the end of the day, she should meet her little sister. I should meet my grandchild and she should help her grandmother."
As for Goldie, who has essentially raised Kate and son Oliver with partner Kurt Russell?
Bill says she constantly cheated on him and believes in open marriages, even though "we made love everywhere... airplane bathrooms, rooftops, under the covers in first-class... just any and every place we could find."
Why come out with this tome, which will be available on November 1? Diane Nine, Bill's agent, says: "What he really wants is a relationship with his children and he hopes this will help."
We can't imagine any reason why it won't.
Sarah Palin
The state of Alaska will release thousands of Sarah Palin's emails from her half term as governor, a disclosure that has taken on national prominence due to the media's obsession with her and Palin's potential presidential run.
More than 24,000 pages of Palin emails will be made public in paper form only in Alaska's capital city, Juneau, which is accessible by only air or water.
Yes, Alaska is a real state.
Reporters from several news organizations have already begun arriving and are making various plans to disseminate the emails to the public.
Palin told Fox News Sunday that "every rock" that could have possibly been kicked over to uncover things in her family already has been.
However, "a lot of those emails obviously weren't meant for public consumption" and that people might seek to take some "out of context."
Like the coverup to hide the pregnancy of Bristol Palin and claim the baby was Sarah's own? Just kidding. That was a great rumor, though.
In truth, there may not be any surprises in Sarah Palin's emails.
Once the state reviewed the records, it gave Palin's attorneys an opportunity to see if they had any privacy concerns about their release.
No emails were withheld or redacted as a result of that, said a staff member of Gov. Sean Parnell, who has been coordinating the release.
The voluminous nature of the release, the isolation of Juneau and the limited bandwidth in the city has caused myriad delays throughout.
People have been calling for further vetting of the political lightning rod ever since she was named to the 2008 GOP ticket out of nowhere.
Now they'll get their chance. But is there anything about Sarah Palin that would change your opinion of her for better or worse at this point?
Should Palin run for President?

Charles Barkley: First Round Prison Pick-Up Game Pick!
Some Arizona prison pick-up game squad is about to get a new starting power forward.
Former NBA star and current television analyst Charles Barkley is headed to jail. He pleaded guilty yesterday to charges of drunk driving, stemming from a December arrest.
Unlike calls in the paint during his playing days, Charles Barkley did not argue with the court ruling on his drunk driving arrest.
According to Scottsdale court records, Sir Charles will begin a five-day jail sentence on March 21. He'll also pay $2,000 in fines and attend an alcohol treatment program.
Barkley was cited by police on December 31, following an evening at a Scottsdale nightclub. He was arrested after failing a field sobriety test and had a blood-alcohol level of .149 percent, nearly twice the legal limit.
It was a major mistake on Barkley's part, and he's paying the consequences. But, hey, at least he didn't murder innocent dogs with his bare hands.
Happy Birthday to Ali Lohan, Sister of Firecrotch
Over the weekend, Ali Lohan turned 13.
Sorry, Wilmer Valerrama, she's still very far from legal.
Seen here, Ali is blowing out a few candles in honor of the occasion. Needless to say, her sister Lindsay Lohan was probably blowing a few other things in honor of it being night time.
Aside from hitting her teenage years, Ali had something else to celebrate: the debut album, Lohan Holiday. Knowing this family, of course, such a retreat probably centers around a lot of men and alcohol.
But we hope the younger Lohan remains innocent. Stay true to yourself, girlfriend. Don't go looking at any Katie Rees pics for naughty ideas.

Oprah Winfrey Calms Nerves with OWN Town Hall | TMZ.com
Oprah Winfrey ordered a bloodbath at OWN Monday, but she took a highly unusual and humanistic step of calling a town hall meeting after firing 30 people ... to explain why she lowered the boom.
Sources who were at the meeting tell TMZ ... Oprah explained that OWN had a duty to the board of directors to justify how much the network was spending, in light of anemic ratings and problems with advertisers.
Oprah said the fiscal year for OWN ends on March 31, and she had to get OWN's financial house in order before April 1 -- or else the entire network would be in jeopardy.
Oprah said cutting staff was essential in harnessing the cost of running the network.
But here's the good news for the 30 people who lost their jobs ... Oprah is paying some serious severance ... one person tells us the packages were "extremely generous." We're told everyone got at least several weeks of pay and some people are getting paid for the duration of their contracts.
And Oprah even brought a recruiter to the building, to help people find new jobs.
