Pete Davidson reveals ‘brutal’ consequence of removing all his tattoos in $200K saga

Pete Davidson says he has spent $200,000 removing his tattoos and has worn sweaters for the past six months while his skin heals. He described the process as “brutal”, saying the skin changes between procedures make it hard to know what is happening underneath.

The removal began in 2020 and is nearly complete, though Davidson plans to keep two or three tattoos and recently added his daughter Scottie’s name near his ear. He once had about 200 tattoos across his arms and chest, which he said could take up to three hours to cover for acting roles. Each removal session requires six to eight weeks of healing, and he said the process may need to be repeated around 12 times.
