Bam Margera gets 'Oops!' neck tattoo inspired by Britney Spears, is now on her 'level'
Bam Margera, embattled reality star cum rapper with an axe to grind, feels a sense of solidarity with one Britney Jean Spears, someone who's also very publicly gone through it.
Margera made those bonds even clearer recently when he got a Britney-inspired neck tattoo.

On Tuesday at Pennsylvania's First Hand Tattoo, Margera, fresh out of a rehab, popped in to commemorate his time under his own court-ordered actions. The former Jackass star has been in and out of rehab facilities in Florida for the past few years, from which he would escape from time to time.
"So if you haven't known, I've been through the ringer with the longest Florida shuffle, which means if the interventionist knows you have insurance money they'll find reasons to keep you there forever," Margera says in a video from First Hand, posted to Instagram.
"So Britney Spears," Margera continues, "Oops, they did it to me, too. I'm on your level."
"Britney, I'm on your level," Margera says at the end of the tattoo video. "I feel your f---ing pain."
Spears was notoriously under the conservatorship of her father, who exerted control over her person and estate, for 13 years until Nov. 2021.
Margera recently made headlines for a "diss track" against former Jackass friends including Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O, accusing them of "ruining" his "moneymakers." Margera was fired from Jackass Forever in 2021 over his alleged Adderall use and ever since things have been tense in Assland, though Steve-O has pleaded with the 44-year-old to get help before it's too late.
"I wish you could know how much I've hated feeling braced for news of your death, but you're making it clear that I have no other choice," Steve-O commented via Instagram in February. "You're dying, brother, and it sucks that I can't do anything to save you."
Margera entered a detox program and left early in June, threatening to "smoke crack" until he died unless he was allowed visitation with his son Phoenix, whom he shares with estranged wife Nicole Boyd.
