In order to get rid of 200 of his “dumbest tattoos,” which include homage to his well-known ex-girlfriends, a likeness of Hilary Clinton, and a Spongebob Squarepants caricature, Pete Davidson disclosed that he is burning off layers of flesh.
As the “Official Boyfriend” of “beautiful and talented women everywhere,” the comedian recently took everything off and gave his admirers a stunning revelation.
Pete Davidson, who has a large tattoo collection, has spent years and over $200,000 removing memories from his body.
The 31-year-old Saturday Night Live star acknowledged that although he likes his tattoos, his body art started to interfere with his growing acting career. His journey to get rid of his tattoos represents a dramatic change in his persona, from the rebellious, ink-covered comedian to a more polished Hollywood actor.
Davidson told the host of Late Night with Seth Meyers, “I honestly never thought that I would get an opportunity to act and I love it a lot.” He also mentioned that his decision to get rid of most of his tattoos was influenced by his work in Hollywood. “It takes around three hours to cover all of your tattoos, so you need to arrive about three hours early. For whatever reason, they aren’t particularly common among movie characters.
“The silliest tattoos”
Davidson started getting tattoos when he was a teenager, and eventually, more than 200 pieces of ink were applied to his flesh.
His body, according to People, includes a New York State driver’s license, images of Hilary Clinton and the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an homage to his father, a fireman who lost his life in 9/11, and DoodleBob from SpongeBob.
In addition, he has tattoos that make references to Saturday Night Live, Harry Potter, and even his former lovers, Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande.
The star of Bodies Bodies Bodies told the host of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, “I have the dumbest tattoos because I made a lot of those decisions before rehab.” “I have a collection of cartoons that smoke blunts, such as the Tootsie Pop owl and the Muppet.”
“It’s awful.”
Inspired by sobriety to laser off his tattoos, Davidson stated that it’ll take quite some time to have them erased — hopefully by the time he’s 40, according to E! News.
He adds that each tattoo requires at least seven visits, making it a difficult procedure.
According to the Transformers: Rise of the Beasts star, “it’s a little easier if it’s black and white.” “But it takes forever if it’s a color tattoo.”
“They have to burn off a layer of your skin and then it has to heal for, like, six to eight weeks and you can’t get in the sunlight,” Fallon added in reference to the “horrible” laser procedure. After that, you have to repeat it about twelve times.
He told the crowd, “Really think about that Game of Thrones tattoo you’ve been considering getting,” adding that laser removal hurts a lot more than obtaining a tattoo.
“Personal Boyfriend”
During a picture session, the King of Staten Island star revealed that he was the “Official Boyfriend” for a campaign with the eco-friendly apparel company Reformation.
In a three-minute film, Davidson plays the role of a patient spouse who waits outside the dressing room as ladies try on clothes.
Although the ad is endearing in and of itself, the stunning images on Reformation’s website are what have really taken center stage.
The SNL veteran flaunts what looks to be an almost ink-free torso in the pictures, either topless or wearing very little clothing.
Davidson, who stated that he is “trying to be an adult,” has undergone a significant change. The actor appears to be enjoying his new appearance based on his easygoing, self-assured poses in the latest ad.
Pete Davidson’s mission to get rid of his tattoos is more than simply a cosmetic alteration; it’s a representation of his developing professional and personal development. Fans might miss his trademark tattooed appearance, but at his core, Davidson is still a comedian.
