Pete Davidson is over his ink. The Saturday Night Live cast member and actor, 27, revealed that he is already in the process of having his tattoos removed during a Q&A for The King Of Staten Island with film critic Mike McGranaghan, who shared the “scoop” on Twitter. “Just attended a virtual Q&A with Judd Apatow and the cast of THE KING OF STATEN ISLAND. And here’s a scoop: Pete Davidson is in the process of getting all his tattoos removed,” the journalist shared on December 6.

Some fans of Pete were dismayed by the news, with one admirer asking if the comedian was “serious” about all the tattoo removal. Mike, however, not only confirmed the news, he reiterated what Pete had shared with him about the process thus far. “No, it’s real,” the journalist confirmed. “He even showed his hand, which is already done.”
No, it's real. He even showed his hand, which is already done. He said it takes 3-4 hours in the makeup chair to cover them, so he figured "it would be easier to get them burned off."

Mike went on to explain exactly what Pete had told him of what the tattoo removal process entails. “He said it takes 3-4 hours in the makeup chair to cover them, so he figured ‘it would be easier to get them burned off,'” he recalled Pete saying. Fans have known Pete to proudly wear, and even add too, his ink for years.
The Suicide Squad actor has tattoos running along both of his arms, his back, legs, and along his torso. Some of the additions have even been a favorite of certain politicians. Back in December 2017, the actor got a tattoo of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who commented on his since-deleted Instagram post of the ink. He also has a few tattoos featuring Harry Potter quotes and iconography and some tattoos dedicated to his former fiancée, Ariana Grande. During their romance, Pete had a few tattoos dedicated to Ariana inked on his skin. But now, more than two years have passed since their October 2018 split. Whether it’s for personal or professional reasons, fans clearly seem interested in what the young comic will look like without his famous ink.
