Pete Davidson Spends $200K to Remove Tattoos for Fresh Start After Sobriety!
Pete Davidson is leaving no stone unturned as he advances steadily on his health path, investing heavily, following his stay at a rehabilitation center over the summer.
A 30-year-old veteran of Saturday Night Live reportedly spent $200,000 to get rid of many tattoos that heavily decorate his body, as per a source who shared this information with People magazine on Friday.
According to the source, one day he suddenly decided he wanted them removed and it’s taken years for him to accomplish this.
As a passionate admirer, I’d rephrase it like this: Ever since September, I’ve been on a sober journey and have added a few extra pounds, but that hasn’t stopped me from wanting a fresh beginning. And so, just as another source revealed to an outlet, I’ve decided to get rid of my tattoos, marking a new chapter in my life.
According to a source, things appear to be going splendidly for Pete, as his career trajectory seems positive, and his latest movie, Dog Man, has received outstanding feedback from critics.
On the episode of Today that aired on Friday, Davidson shared his experiences with tattoo removal, likening the process to something quite unpleasant. He used the term ‘very uncomfortable’ to describe it.

If anyone considering a tattoo is tuned in, ensure it’s something truly desired because, as I demonstrate with my arm art that has significantly faded over time, tattoos can lose their vividness.
In 2020, the actor initiated a change, and he has now disclosed that his decision to become sober ignited a passion within him for an extensive makeover, encompassing not only his substance use but also his physical appearance.
After giving up alcohol, when I looked at my reflection, I thought to myself, “No way, that’s not me.” I then realized, “I need to make some changes here.
Davidson checked into a wellness facility to seek mental health treatment in late July.
In the year 2021, Davidson stated that he was having his tattoos removed to increase his chances of securing movie roles.
On Late Night with Seth Meyers, I mentioned that I aim to erase my tattoos since I don’t relish spending three hours each day concealed under layers of makeup.
He expressed back then, ‘To be honest, I hadn’t expected to have the chance to act, but I really enjoy it!’
He suggested you should arrive three hours ahead of time to conceal all your tattoos since, oddly enough, characters in films tend to have fewer tattoos.



Pete confessed that the ordeal of having his tattoo removed was more unpleasant than the initial pain he experienced while getting it done.
He told Seth, ‘So now I’m burning them off, but burning them off is worse than getting them.
He explained, “They’re not just searing your skin, but you’re also wearing large protective eyewear, which means you can’t see a thing. The doctor is working alongside you during the procedure.
To ensure that each tattoo remains as intended, it’s important to listen to him identify the tattoo prior to its removal, so you can decide whether to preserve it or not.
In simpler terms, ‘I’ll merely be in that state under the influence of nitrous oxide, when suddenly I might overhear, “Is Stewie Griffin still puffing on a joint?” At which point, I find myself compelled to respond, “No, Dr. G.”‘
