Pete Davidson Shares Why He’s Removing His Tattoos — As Well As The Staggering Cost
HuffPost
Though the “SNL” alum previously said he was undergoing the process for work-related purposes, he just shared a more personal reason for doing it.
Pete Davidson stunned fans in February when he revealed his newly tattoo-free arms and midriff while posing for a Reformation campaign ― but he says his physical transformation is far from complete.
Speaking to Variety in an interview published on Thursday, the “Saturday Night Live” veteran shared the reasons he decided to gradually remove his 200 tattoos, as well as the timeframe and staggering cost required to do so.
“I started during COVID in 2020 and it’s gonna take me another 10 years. My arms are pretty much gone, and my hands and neck are gone,” Davidson explained. “But I still have to do my torso and back. It was really just because I wasn’t taking care of myself.”
From the sounds of it, the tattoo removal process isn’t for the pain-adverse or faint-of-heart, as Davidson described it as “like putting your arm on a grill and burning off a layer.”
As for how much the removal of all that ink is expected to set him back, he acknowledged, “It’s a pretty uncomfortable amount of money to disclose.”
