Bam Margera tattoos
If you are have seen the professional skateboarder on-screen or seen his pictures before, you will agree that he has an endless exhibition of tattoos. The interesting thing is that each of Bam Margera tattoo symbols is significant.
For instance, the heart gram tattoo is supposed to be a modern-day yin-yang which symbolises the relationship between love and hate, light and darkness, life and death, and so on. Interestingly, the symbol is found on CKY paraphernalia, HIM albums, and on the Element product line.
He also has a wedding tattoo which he got alongside Missy before their wedding. He opted for the drawing of Dr. J, an NBA player, without disclosing to his fans why he did so, while Missy chose a 313 tattoo.
On his left elbow is a tattoo of two fused hearts and on his left forearm is an inked dreadful-looking man wearing a top hat.
