Jackass actor Bam Margera got a new face tattoo last week.
This inking has been dedicated to his five-year-old son Phoenix whom he has with his estranged wife Nicole Boyd.
The child’s name was written in Arabic, according to his tattoo artist Gray Wake who spoke with TMZ. Wake’s tattoo parlor is named Tribal Roots Tattoo Studio and is located in Escondido, California.
The 43-year-old actor is estranged from Phoenix’s mother as she filed for divorce from Margera this year after she claimed Bam was not sober when he visited his son. She also accused him of leaving her with no car or money after their split.
Bam took to Instagram over the weekend to share that he got the tattoo because he misses his child, while also taking aim at his ex.
‘I miss Phoenix the wolf so much I had to to get his name tattooed on my f***in face to remind Nikki she is breaking my heart by not letting me see him,’ he claimed.
Fresh ink: Jackass actor Bam Margera got a new face tattoo last week. This inking has been dedicated to his five-year-old son Phoenix whom he has with his estranged wife Nicole Boyd. The child’s name was written in Arabic, according to his tattoo artist Gray Wake
Ouch! Wake’s tattoo parlor is named Tribal Roots Tattoo Studio and is located in Escondido, California
The ink expert told the site that Bam did not have an appointment and just walked in.
And he did not come alone; the movie star was with a male friend during the visit.
Gray added that Bam asked for his son’s name to be written in Arabic, but did not explain why.
Bam already had the design on his cell phone and showed it to the artist to mimic.
And Bam also got a ‘small’ tattoo on his hand, the site added, but it was not shared what the tat was of.
Boyd filed for legal separation in February, calling it quits after she claimed Bam had a non-sober visit with Phoenix.
The pair married in 2013, but she filed separation documents in Los Angeles, citing irreconcilable differences as a reason for their split.
Nicole listed the date of their separation as September 2021.

Inky guy: The 43-year-old actor is estranged from Phoenix’s mother as she filed for divorce from Margera this year after she claimed Bam was not sober when he visited his son.

In the documents, she requested legal and physical custody of Phoenix, but wants Bam to have visitation rights in the Los Angeles county area, and is also asking for spousal support.
It certainly has been a bad year for Bam.
Earlier this month Margera was arrested for domestic violence.
A woman – who is not his estranged wife – told police the stunt performer allegedly kicked her.
He was arrested after officers were called to a house in Escondido, California, at around 5:30am.
According to TMZ, Bam – whose real name is Brandon Cole – was booked into the Vista Detention Facility on a charge of corporal injury on a current or former spouse, cohabitant, dating partner or fellow parent. He later posted $50,000 bail and was released.
Lt. Ryan Wisniewski, with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department, told People that Bam was due in court that week.

The D.A. told TMZ he would likely not be charged.
In January, Bam told how he was ‘pronounced dead’ in December 2022 after suffering four seizures.
Bam was admitted to hospital after he was struck down with coronavirus, and during one seizure he bit his tongue so hard it ‘was nearly falling off’, and he later drank some infected blood which gave him pneumonia.
He said: ‘I basically was pronounced dead on Elvis’ birthday, December 8th.
‘I did not know that I had gnarly COVID.
‘My body was shutting down, and I went into four seizures, each one lasting 10 to 20 minutes, and on the fourth one, I bit my tongue so hard, it was nearly falling off.
‘It got so swollen and puffy, it wouldn’t fit in my mouth, and I was drinking the infected blood, which gave me pneumonia as well, so when the shaman took me to the hospital, I went into my fifth seizure, and I couldn’t breathe without a tube down my throat.’
