Barker lost two of his close friends, Chris Baker and Charles "Che" Still, during the plane crash in 2008. To pay tribute to them, he got a memorial for his friends on his right thigh. While recovering from his injuries, Barker was unable to attend their funerals, so the ink helped him process the loss in a way. "Once I realized I'd lost two of my friends, I was like, "Can I get a tattoo artist to come in right now?" I missed their funerals, so I guess I was looking for some kind of closure," he said to GQ.

Barker had all his leg tattoos burnt off while in the plane crash. Among the ones that meant the most to him was the "Bones" tattoo he got on his leg, which was the first ever ink he got. Barker recalled to Vice that he was only 16 when he got the tattoo — it was his nickname growing up due to his slim build. There was also a Dag Nasty flame logo, which is one of Barker's favorite bands.
