Pete Davidson<\/a> is on track to don a T-shirt without any tattoos being visible “by the end of this year”.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Pete Davidson has given an update on his tattoo removal journey<\/p>\n
The former Saturday Night Live star has removed the inkings from his hands and neck, and now his arms are nearly done – however, Pete will keep the tattoos that are tributes to his mom Amy and late dad Scott.<\/p>\n
Pete – who began the 10-year process of getting rid of over 200 individual tattoos in 2020 and has forked out more than $200,000 to have them erased – told People: “I’m almost done with my arms now. I did my hands and neck first.<\/p>\n
“I did it in the order of what is most visible. My goal is to be able to wear a T-shirt and not see anything there by the end of this year.<\/p>\n
“I would say there’s like 65, 70 per cent of the tattoos left, and some of them are faded or whatever.”<\/p>\n
\nHe then quipped: “It has been a hot topic.”<\/p>\n
\nThe 31-year-old comic – who decided to get his tattoos removed as a fresh start after overcoming addiction – expects it will take a long time for him to be free of body art.<\/p>\n
\nPete explained: “It takes years to get rid of a tattoo. You’ve got to burn it off, and it takes 10 to 12 sessions per tattoo. <\/p>\n
\n“So I have to cram that in between work, and you then need six weeks to heal. Anytime I get one session done, I can’t do anything. So it’s going to be, like, until I’m 40 when I’m a clean slate.”<\/p>\n
\nSome of Pete’s tattoos that are getting removed are those that honour his past girlfriends, and others are lighthearted designs.<\/p>\n
\nHowever, he plans to keep ones inspired by The Sopranos, as well as two poignant designs he had for his mom and late dad Scott, a firefighter who died during the 9\/11 terrorist attacks in New York.<\/p>\n
\nHe told Entertainment Tonight: \u201cI got all these tattoos, so my mom was like, \u2018How come you\u2019ve never gotten a \u201cMom\u201d tattoo? Now I have a tattoo that just says \u2018MOMTATTOO.\u2019 That one has to stay…<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI have my dad\u2019s ID [number], and that\u2019s pretty much it.\u201d<\/p>\n
