"Family Over Everything" script is written on Barker's upper back above his family portraits, which include drawings of his father, mother, and his kids.
"Mom" is written in a banner style on the nape of his neck.
The motivational quote "Never Give Up, Never Give In" is situated on his upper back. Each word is spaced by an equal sign, and the ink also features a cross in the middle of the quote.
After suffering severe three-degree burns from the plane crash, Barker decided to redo his back and make it personal with the portraits of his family members. In the top right corner, he has his father's portrait, adjacent to that he has his mother's portrait. His son Landon's portrait is on the right side of his back, while his daughter Alabama's portrait is placed below his dad's tattoo. The entire family tree was simultaneously done by Chuey Quintanar and Franco Vescovi, which took 10-hour sessions.
A Jesus portrait is among other notable designs on Barker's back, in the centre of the family portraits.
A 1953 Cadillac model also found a place on Barker's back, next to the portrait of his son.
Barker has a positive affirmation tatted on his lower back. The ink says "Hope" in bold block letters.
The names of all his children are written across his lower back in order: Landon, Atiana, Alabama. While he shares Landon and Alabama with ex-wife Moakler, Atiana is the name of his step-daughter from Moakler's relationship with Oscar De La Hoya.
