Pete Davidson Undergoes Painful Process to Remove Nearly 200 Tattoos

The comedian and actor is leaving most of his tattoos behind as part of a personal transformation and career-focused decision.

Pete Davidson has been removing nearly 200 tattoos since 2020, a process he describes as 'horrible' and requiring multiple sessions over several years.
He plans to keep only two or three tattoos, aiming for a 'clean slate' and a more mature appearance.
Davidson cited sobriety and his acting career as key reasons for the decision, noting the challenges tattoos posed on movie sets due to lengthy makeup sessions.
The removal process involves burning off layers of skin, with each session requiring six to eight weeks of healing and avoiding sunlight.
He humorously advised fans to think carefully about tattoos, referencing his own impulsive decisions during a 'sad boy' phase several years ago.
