Pete Davidson has been removing nearly 200 of his tattoos, which he calls his “dumbest tattoos,” including tributes to famous ex-girlfriends, portraits of Hilary Clinton and a Spongebob Squarepants character.
The 31-year-old Saturday Night Live star, known for his extensive tattoos, has spent years and over $200,000 on tattoo removal. His career shift from a rebellious comedian to a Hollywood actor inspired this decision as having tattoos became a hassle for his acting roles, often requiring him to arrive three hours early to cover them up.
Davidson started getting tattoos in his teens and accumulated over 200. His body art features tributes to his father (a 9/11 firefighter), portraits of figures like Hilary Clinton and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as well as references to Harry Potter, Saturday Night Live, and past girlfriends like Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande.
