Pete Davidson’s new look after “burning off” almost 200 tattoos

Pete Davidson revealed he’s burning off layers of his skin to remove 200 of his “dumbest tattoos,” that include tributes to his famous ex-girlfriends, a portrait of Hilary Clinton and a Spongebob Squarepants character.

Recently the comedian stripped it all off and made his jaw-dropping reveal, treating fans to his fresh new look as the “Official Boyfriend” to “beautiful and talented women everywhere.”

Pete Davidson, long been known for his extensive collection of tattoos, has spent years and more than $200,000 erasing memories from his skin.

While he loves his tattoos, the 31-year-old Saturday Night Live star admitted his body art became a hassle with his expanding career as an actor. His tattoo removal journey reflects a significant shift in his image – moving away from the rebellious, ink-covered comedian to a more refined 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’s journey with tattoos began in his teenage years and over time, his skin became the canvas for over 200 pieces of ink.

According to People, his body features tributes to his father, a firefighter who died in 9/11, portraits of Hilary Clinton and the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, DoodleBob from SpongeBob, a New York State driver’s license.
