Jackass star Steve-O has been sober for more than 450 days and he is getting the accomplishment permanently inked on his body.
Just last week Steve-O, who already has a number of tattoos, was seen entering a tattoo parlor for his next inking. The jokester’s problems with substance abuse peaked when he was arrested in 2008 for possession of cocaine.
Steve-O, who famously had a giant tattoo of his own face inked on his back, says “the one to commemorate my sobriety,” is a naked man behind bars with the words “Prison Love” written above it.
That’s not the only change he’s made in his road to recovery.
“This one used to be a pot leaf,” he said while pointing to a tattoo on his wrist. “And so I changed that — into a palm tree!”
The former Jackass star — who pleaded guilty to felony cocaine possession in June 2008 and returned to a mental institution to stay sober after problems with ketamine, pcp, nitrous oxide and other drugs — is now working on a new documentary show for MTV.
“It’s my opportunity to prove that I’ve not lost my mojo to sobriety,” he said. “That I’m still bats**t crazy.”
