Travis Barker has forced fans to do a double-take with a striking new appearance.

The Blink-182 rocker, 46, looks almost unrecognizable in Machine Gun Kelly and Willow Smith's latest music video for 'Emo Girl'.

The drummer sported a gray wig, nerdy glasses, a sweater vest, and a turtleneck while playing a school teacher in the clip. But what was most surprising about his dramatic new look was that there wasn't a single tattoo in sight.

Watch the music video for 'Emo Girl' right here:

The musician typically has the word "blessed" under his left eye, prayer hands on the side of his temple, "in God’s hands" on his chin, a mini anchor, and a Virgin Mary tattoo on his head. 

Travis started the video off by welcoming a class of school children to what looks like a modern museum.

"Alright kids," he began telling them, adding: "Today we're going on a field trip."

Travis took to Instagram to share the iconic moment by posting a clip of the opening scene. He wrote: "Who wants to go on a field trip?"

It comes as Barker got some surprising news from friend Machine Gun Kelly about the pair's upcoming album.

MGK revealed that he's decided to change the album name from 'Born With Horns' to 'Mainstream Sellout'. The problem was that the pair got matching tattoos on their left forearms that read 'Born With Horns'.

He broke the news to Barker in a TikTok video, which sees him tell Barker: "We're friends no matter what, right? Remember when we got the new album name tattooed on our arm?"

Realizing what MGK is about to tell him, Barker starts to laugh, and can be heard saying: "You're changing..."

"I'm changing the album name," MGK says, as the pair continues to laugh together.

In an interview with NME, MGK says the upcoming album will be "more guitar-heavy" and feature "deeper" lyrics than his previous releases.

"Every album is a juxtaposition of the last album. So I went and studied [Tickets To My Downfall], and I heard the bright sound that I had, and for this album I just turned the lights off," the rapper added.
