I\u2019ve been filming it and showing all the younger people in my family to be like, \u2018If you don\u2019t like it, this is what you have to do.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cBut I\u2019m excited \u2018cause I\u2019m making changes. So I\u2019m excited, but it sucks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 31-year-old comic previously explained he views getting his tattoos removed as a fresh start after overcoming addition.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told Variety: &#8220;I used to be a drug addict and I was a sad person, and I felt ugly and that I needed to be covered up. <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cSo I\u2019m just removing them and starting fresh, because that\u2019s what I think works best for me and for my brain. When I look in the mirror, I don\u2019t want the reminder of \u2018Oh yeah, you were a f******drug addict. Like, that\u2019s why you have SpongeBob smoking a joint on your back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe King of Staten Island star has  spentmore than $200,000 having them removed.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe admitted: \u201cIt\u2019s a pretty uncomfortable amount of money to disclose, but I think one of the tabloids already leaked it. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I\u2019ve already spent like 200k and I\u2019m like 30 per cent done. So, like, it\u2019s gonna suck &#8230; My arms are pretty much gone, and my hands and neck are gone. But I still have to do my torso and back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/pete-davidson-keeping-tattoos-parents-1432384.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3 November 2025 Pete Davidson won&#8217;t get rid of his tattoo tributes to his parents.
