Bam Margera he is learning that hot tubs and fresh paint do not match – he needed a hospital stay to treat a staph infection caused by his most recent tattoo.
The “Jackass” star was hospitalized over the weekend after suffering pain in the same leg that houses his new cat Farsi. Bam is no stranger to pain – it has kind of been his job for years – so you must imagine that he was really suffering a lot.
Bam said he had a staph infection, and sources close to him told us that his leg was probably infected when he got into a hot tub.
As anyone with tattoos probably knows, you should take it easy after painting … and hot tubs really do seem like a bad idea, especially with tattoos on the legs. Tough lesson here for Bam.
The good news … we have been informed that he has already been discharged from the hospital and should recover fully.
