Off The Record
Pete Davidson’s New Look After Getting Rid Of Nearly 200 Tattoos, But Wait Till You See Him Now
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.
“I honestly never thought that I would get an opportunity to act and I love it a lot,” Davidson told the host of Late Night with Seth Meyers, adding his career in Hollywood inspired his decision to remove the majority of his tattoos. “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.”
‘Dumbest 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.
“I made a lot of those decisions before rehab, so I have the dumbest tattoos,” the Bodies Bodies Bodies star told the host of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. “I got a collection of cartoons smoking blunts like a Muppet smoking a blunt, the Tootsie Pop owl smoking a blunt.”
‘It’s horrible’
Davidson acknowledged that it will take a while to have his tattoos removed, ideally by the time he is 40, after being inspired by sobriety to do so, according to E! News.
He adds that each tattoo requires at least seven visits, making it a difficult procedure.
“If it’s black and white, it’s a little easier,” the star of Transformers: Rise of the Beasts said. “But if it’s a color tattoo, it takes forever.”
Speaking with Fallon about the “horrible” laser process, he said, “They gotta 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. Then you gotta do it, like, 12 more times.”
“Really think about that Game of Thrones tattoo you’ve been thinking about getting,” he joked to the audience, adding that laser removal is far more painful than getting a tattoo.
‘Official 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.
This is a huge transformation for Davidson, who said he’s “trying to be an adult.” And judging by his relaxed, confident poses in the new campaign, the star seems to be loving his new look.
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.
