Travis Barker is reportedly developing a new TV series based on tattoos and diamond dental implants.
Barker has partnered with Bullish Content, run by former Kinetic Content exec Paul Lima, and This Is Just a Test Media, the company behind TLC reality series I Am Jazz, to develop Inked and Iced.
The unscripted series will follow Barker’s new business venture with “diamond dentist” Dr. Tom Connelly, featuring celebrities and musicians undergoing high-end diamond dental implants while simultaneously receiving full-body tattoos, all while under anesthesia.
It looks like the drummer fell in love with the idea when he got his own pearly whites blinged out in January — an $8,000 upgrade thanks to a veneer embellished with a diamond skull made by Dr. Connelly.
Barker has teamed up with Bullish Content, and This Is Just A Test Media to develop the upcoming series. An air date is not yet known.
“Inked And Iced is about self-expression, the human body as an art canvas, capitalism, eccentricity, and entrepreneurship,” Aengus James of This Is Just A Test Media said in a statement. “Travis is a genius. It’s the kind of out-of-the-box programming that Paul Lima is tremendous at developing.”
Bullish Content’s Lima added:
“We’re thrilled to be following Travis and this innovative business as it launches and grows.”
Barker previously appeared in the MTV reality series Meet The Barkers, which ran for two seasons between 2005 and 2006. He is also set to feature in the Kardashians’ upcoming Hulu series, announcing his engagement to Kourtney Kardashian last October.
In terms of music, Travis Barker has recently collaborated with Machine Gun Kelly, Avril Lavigne, Willow, and Yungblud. A new Blink-182 album is also in the works, the drummer confirmed back in 2021.
