Machine Gun Kelly has announced the release of his next album by getting a matching tattoo with its producer, Blink-182’s Travis Barker.
Born With Horns marks the second time the pair have collaborated, following 2020’s Tickets to My Downfall, which marked the musician’s first number one album on the Billboard 200.
Taking to social media, the rapper and rocker duo posted synced messages on Instagram as they revealed their fresh ink.
‘“Born with horns” the album. We’re back for round two…’, wrote Travis, next to pics of the tatted-up pair holding their forearms out to display the name of the album with identical placement.
This comes after MGK confirmed he had new music coming in August.
Travis is executive producing for MGK for a second time, following the success of Tickets to My Downfall, which collected plaudits and moved MGK into the pop-punk genre, as well as seeing him top the charts.
MGK took to Travis’s comments section by the pics and posted ‘we back’, alongside a smiling devil emoji, while Travis’ girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian left heart and flame emojis.
Travis returned the favour by visiting MGK’s video clip of their tattoos and dropping a ‘let’s f**kin gooo’ in the comments.
Former Batwoman star Ruby Rose was also amped for the upcoming release, posting: ‘S**t yeah!’
The rocker duo has already been busy this year after collaborating on a cover of Edwyn Collins’ 90s hit A Girl Like You, which featured on the soundtrack to Amazon movie Paradise City.
