Jackass star Bam Margera has revealed the emotional meaning behind his new neck tattoo.
The 44-year-old TV personality has explained that he feels a sense of solidarity with Britney Spears and compared his struggle with addiction and rehab stints to her past conservatorship. In a video shared by First Hand Tattoo in Pennsylvania, he explained his choice behind the inking.
Bam said: “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. So Britney Spears, “Oops they did it to me too!” I’m on your level.”

The Florida shuffle is a phrase used to describe substance abusers with good health insurance in the Sunshine State. According to TMZ Bam has compared his struggle to Britney’s past conservatorship.
Bam has claimed he’s “the Guinness Book of World record-holder of longest Florida shuffle of nearly 2 years” allegedly including 10 back-to-back stays in rehab costing a total of£544,000 ($660,000). The star told the outlet that he is sick of “controlling c***suckers that act like they care for your well-being when it’s all about money.”

The tattoo comes after it was reported that police had to do a “welfare check” on Britney after she posted a disturbing video dancing with knives. According to TMZ, the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department got calls from worried fans and dispatched a team to perform a welfare check on Britney.
According to the outlet, once officers arrived, they spoke with Britney’s security who assured them she was alright but didn’t want to speak to them. Britney’s attorney later called the police station to discuss the visit and they assured him they only made the visit because the call was made by someone who knew Britney and they don’t make the welfare checks just for fan calls.
