Pete Davidson has shared that he’s undergoing a process to remove 200 of his “dumbest tattoos,” which include tributes to his well-known ex-girlfriends, a portrait of Hilary Clinton, and a character from Spongebob Squarepants.
Recently, the comedian unveiled his new look, embracing his role as the “Official Boyfriend” to “beautiful and talented women everywhere.”
Known for his vast array of tattoos, Pete has invested over $200,000 and several years into erasing these memories from his skin. While he appreciates his tattoos, the 31-year-old Saturday Night Live star acknowledged that they have become a burden as his acting career has grown. His journey of tattoo removal signifies a transformation in his public persona, shifting from a rebellious, inked comedian to a more polished Hollywood actor.
“I honestly never thought that I would get an opportunity to act, and I love it a lot,” Davidson shared during an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. He explained that his Hollywood career motivated him to remove most of his tattoos, noting, “It takes like three hours – you have to get there like three hours earlier – to cover all your tattoos. For some reason, people in movies, they don’t have them that much.”
