Pete Davidson reveals he wants to have ALL his tattoos removed before he is 40 after major regret over ink

Pete Davidson is opening up about his mᴀssive amount of tattoos, which he’s hoping to have removed.

The 31-year-old comedian – who became one of the youngest Saturday Night Live cast members in history at just 20 years of age back in 2014 – once estimated he had over 200 tattoos.

Now he’s going through the process of having them all removed, with sources claiming last week that he’s already spent more than $200,000 on laser tattoo removal.

Still, it seems he has a long way to go, as he reunited with his old SNL friend Seth Meyers on Thursday’s episode of Late Night. 

When Meyers asked about his tattoo removal promise, Davidson admitted that he didn’t know how long it would take.

‘No, I didn’t realize it would take — like, when I’m 40, it’ll all be gone, like the chest and the back,’ Davidson said.

Meyers added that each tattoo takes ‘seven visits,’ Davidson clarified that it takes at least that long.

‘It’s at least seven visits. And if it’s black and white, it’s a little easier. But if it’s a color tattoo, it takes forever,’ Davidson admitted.

When Meyers asked if there was any one of his tattoos he was particularly happy to get rid of, Davidson admitted, ‘All of them.’

‘Well I made a lot of those decisions when, you know, before rehab. So I got the dumbest tattoos,’ Davidson admitted. 

When asked what some of his worst ones were, Davidson admitted, ‘I got a collection of cartoons smoking a blunt.’

He added there was one of The Muppets along with ‘the Tootsie Pop owl,’ adding that was, ‘weird because I wasn’t old enough to be around for that commercial.’ 

Regarding the tattoos, a source claimed last week that Davidson, ‘just woke up one day and wanted them gone, and it’s been a years-long process.’  

Davidson, who ‘has been sober since September and gained twenty pounds,’ opted to remove his tattoos as a ‘fresh start,’ a second insider told the outlet.

Meyers added that each tattoo takes 'seven visits,' Davidson clarified that it takes at least that long.

‘Things are really going well for him, everything is moving in the right direction, and he’s been receiving fantastic reviews for the movie,’ the insider added, referencing Pete’s new film Dog Man.

During an appearance on Today Friday, Davidson opened up about how excruciating the tattoo removal process has been, describing it as ‘pretty terrible.’

‘So if anybody out there is watching and thinking about getting a tattoo, make sure you really want to get it,’ he said while showing the faded body art on his arm. ‘It’s pretty gone.’

The actor, who began the removal process in 2020, revealed that getting sober sparked his desire for a full transformation, including his appearance.

‘I got sober and I saw myself in the mirror and I was like, “Nah. Who that?” I was like, “I got to change it up a little bit.”‘
