Pete Davidson’s Superbowl Weekend: Making Headlines Beyond the Game
Pete Davidson didn’t only create waves on the internet. Over Super Bowl weekend, the SNL alum was spotted in New Orleans, first mingling with Kevin Costner and Miles Teller at the big game, then attending a pre-Super Bowl bash hosted by Michael Rubin.
Dressed in a short-sleeved shirt, he put his tattoo-free arms on display, marking the progress of a removal journey he kicked off in 2020 as part of a personal reinvention.
Pete Davidson’s Tattoo Removal: A Decision Years in the Making
Once boasting a collection of over 200 tattoos, Davidson admitted on Late Night with Seth Meyers that his ink choices weren’t exactly well-thought-out. From a series of cartoon characters smoking blunts to a Muppets tattoo, he confessed, “I got the dumbest tattoos.”
It was sobriety that gave him a fresh perspective, leading him to erase the ink he once thought defined him. “I got sober and I saw myself in the mirror, and I was like, ‘Nah. Who that?’ I was like, ‘I got to change it up a little bit,’” he shared laughing.
Davidson is undoubtedly committed, even though the process is gruelling , with each piece requiring at least seven painful laser sessions and color tattoos taking even longer.
He hopes to have every last trace removed before he turns 40, embracing what he calls a “fresh start.” A source close to him revealed that Davidson “just woke up one day and wanted them gone, and it’s been a years-long process.”
Fans got another glimpse of his transformation when he appeared on the Today show, bluntly calling the tattoo removal process “pretty terrible.” But he had a word of advice for those considering body art: “Make sure you really want to get it.”
