Pete Davidson looked worlds away from his usual self with a new clean-cut image as he attended Riff Raff in NYC on Wednesday.

The Saturday Night Live veteran, 30, has dropped a hefty $200,000 to remove the hundreds of tattoos that covered much of his body.

And now it seems he has nearly completed his aim of being tattoo-free as he graced the red carpet screening of Roadside Attractions’ Riff Raff at Regal EsSєx Crossing.

Pete layered a black and red bomber jacket over his two shirts and brown trousers as he slipped into a pair of sensible back and grey walking trainers.

He looked elated with his new look as she flashed a huge smile and put his thumbs up for the wall of cameras.

Pete first began the lengthy and expensive process of erasing the ink on his arms over four years ago amid his sobriety journey.

Pete recently revealed he wants to remove all of his ink removed before turning 40 in nine years.

A Reformation pH๏τoshoot of the star saw his usually ink-covered chest clear from tattoos as he went shirtless in white trousers to showcase his transformation.

The King of Staten Island Star, who has been romantically linked to Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian and Madelyn Cline in the past, once estimated he had over 200 tattoos.

Regarding the tattoos, a People source claimed he had ‘just woke up one day and wanted them gone, and it’s been a years-long process.’ 

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

‘Things are really going well for him,’ the source said about the actor, who stars in the new film Dog Man. 

‘Everything is moving in the right direction, and he’s been receiving fantastic reviews for the movie.’

Earlier this month, Pete made an appearance on the Today show and opened up about the excruciating tattoo removal process. 

He described it as ‘pretty terrible’ and shared a warning to people interested in getting inked themselves. 

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

The actor began the removal process in 2020 and previously revealed that getting sober sparked his desire for a full transformation including in 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.”‘
