‘I Was A Sad Boy.’ Pete Davidson Gets Real About Burning Off 200 Tattoos And I’m Wincing Just Reading About It

by

Pete Davidson is well-known for his stint on Saturday Night Live, sharing ownership of a Staten Island Ferry, and his distinctive appearance due to numerous tattoos, which made him easily recognizable if you encountered him off-screen. However, that’s changing now as he’s currently undergoing the painful process of having most of them removed.

Before the 50th anniversary celebration of Saturday Night Live, where Davidson had spent eight years, he made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. During the chat, the topic of his tattoos arose. It seems that he’s done with tattoos, yet he’s undergoing a seemingly excruciating procedure to remove them. Davidson mentioned…

Consider the consequences before you decide on that Game of Thrones tattoo. It’s a painful process, requiring multiple sessions where they remove a layer of your skin, followed by six to eight weeks of healing and avoiding sunlight. You’ll need to repeat this process up to 12 times. So, think it over thoroughly.

The idea you presented, removing a layer of one’s skin, sounds incredibly unpleasant to me, especially given the extensive amount of tattoos covering Pete Davidson’s arms. It’s hard to imagine such a scenario without discomfort or pain.

Frankly speaking, Pete Davidson’s joke about getting a “Game of Thrones” tattoo has always made me hesitant about getting inked myself. Though the idea has occasionally popped into my head, I often ponder if the design I’d pick today is something I’d still want several years down the line. With this newfound understanding of the process involved in changing one’s tattoo, I can confidently say that it’s a hard pass for me.

As a movie buff putting this in my own words, I’d say: I’ve found myself getting inked whenever I thought there was a good reason behind it, but that impulse has occasionally led me to the need for tattoo removals down the line. Case in point, when I got tattoos dedicated to Kim Kardashian during our relationship, I eventually needed to have them removed after we parted ways. Before Kim, I had two tattoos of my then-fiancee Ariana Grande etched on me.

Pete Davidson mentions that he might retain just a couple among his numerous tattoos accumulated throughout the years. In essence, only a minuscule portion of his tattoos will remain. He elaborated on this topic when speaking with Fallon, sharing the number of tattoos he has and the reasons behind getting them.

Probably like 200. Yeah, I was a sad boy.

Pete Davidson links his tattoos to his past, which he admits was marked by reckless behavior. Now, he’s striving to mature and grow, hence his decision to have the tattoos removed. These specific designs represent a phase in his life that he is eager to move beyond.
