Pete Davidson Spends $200K on Tattoo Removals So Far.
Pete Davidson has nearly eliminated all of his tattoos, reportedly investing a significant amount of money in the removal process.
According to a source who spoke with PEOPLE, the former Saturday Night Live star has spent approximately $200,000 to date. It appears that Pete is resolute in his decision to erase his tattoos as he embarks on a new chapter in his life.
“He just woke up one day and wanted them gone, and it’s been a years-long process,” the insider explained.
A second source added that he’s “been sober since September, and gained twenty pounds.”
“Things are going really well for him," they emphasized. "Things are heading in the right direction, and he’s receiving excellent reviews for the movie.'"
Pete commenced his tattoo removal journey in 2020, aiming to eliminate more than 200 tattoos. In 2021, he indicated that part of his motivation stemmed from his acting career. "I didn't think that they would put me in stuff (in) the movie business or anything. I thought after this, 'SNL,' I thought it was a wrap," he said.
Pete commenced his career in the entertainment industry at the age of 20 with his debut on Saturday Night Live. Currently, his estimated net worth stands at $4 million, primarily attributed to his diverse acting roles. His filmography includes notable titles such as Meet Cute (2022), Bodies Bodies Bodies (2022), The Suicide Squad (2021), and The King of Staten Island (2019).
Additionally, he created, wrote, and starred in the Peacock series Bupkis, which premiered in 2023 and was subsequently renewed for a second season; however, Pete decided to put the project on hold the following year.

During a promotional appearance for his latest film Doog Man on Today this week, Pete candidly discussed the challenges he has faced during the tattoo removal process, describing it as arduous.
"It’s pretty terrible, so if anybody out there is watching and thinking about getting a tattoo, make sure you really want to get it," he said, while showing off his forearm. "It’s pretty gone."
As for his motivation, Pete added,"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 acquiring numerous tattoos throughout the years, Pete's ink dedicated to Kim Kardashian stands out as the most notorious. During their brief relationship in 2021, he adorned himself with several tattoos in her honor, including the phrase "My Girl is a Lawyer," a "K" emblem on his chest, and initials symbolizing Kim and her four children. These tattoos seem to have been among the earliest he acquired, as they have since been removed.
