Pete Davidson has spent a staggering $200,000 on tattoo removal as he transitions into his thirties, embracing sobriety and refining his career path.
The 30-year-old comedian and former Saturday Night Live star has been systematically erasing the ink that once covered his body, aiming for a cleaner look as he focuses on his acting ambitions. According to an insider, the decision came suddenly: “He just woke up one day and wanted them gone, and it’s been a years-long process.”
Alongside his tattoo removal journey, Davidson has also been prioritizing his health. He’s been sober since September and has gained 20 pounds, with sources close to him saying he’s in a great place personally and professionally. His latest project, Dog Man, has been earning him positive reviews, reinforcing that he’s on the right track.
During a recent appearance on the Today show, Davidson opened up about the grueling process of tattoo removal. He jokingly warned others to think twice before getting inked, saying, “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.'”
Despite removing tattoos that once symbolized past relationships, Davidson reportedly remains on good terms with exes, including Kim Kardashian. However, his focus now is on his sobriety and future in the entertainment industry, marking a fresh chapter in his life.
