Pete Davidson's Tattoo Removal Journey Revealed In SNL Appearance
In a recent episode of Saturday Night Live, comedian Pete Davidson addressed the rumors surrounding his extensive tattoo collection. During his opening monologue, Davidson joked about the laser tattoo removal process he has been undergoing.
Pete's Tattoo Transformation
Davidson, known for his numerous and often eccentric tattoos, has been gradually removing them in recent months. In his SNL monologue, he shared that he has spent countless hours at the laser removal clinic. "I got so many tattoos, I look like a coloring book that's been left in the rain," he quipped.
The comedian revealed that he started the removal process because he wanted to present a more professional image in upcoming roles. He also mentioned that some of his tattoos were getting in the way of his love life. "I'd be out on a date, and I'd have to warn the girl that I'm going to the bathroom to cover up my tattoo of a unicorn riding a roller coaster," he joked.
The Laser Removal Process
Davidson described the laser removal process as "painful but worth it." He explained that the laser emits a high-energy beam that breaks down the ink particles in the tattoo. The particles are then absorbed by the body and gradually removed over time.
"It's like getting a hot needle dragged across your skin," said Davidson. "But I'm determined to get rid of these bad boys. I'm like that guy in prison who's chipping away at a rock with a plastic spoon."
The Significance of Tattoo Removal
Beyond the cosmetic reasons, Davidson also shared that tattoo removal has had a deeper significance for him. "Some of these tattoos were a reminder of a person or a time in my life that I'm not in anymore," he said. "Getting rid of them is like closing a chapter and moving on."
Davidson's tattoo removal journey has sparked a conversation about the changing nature of tattoos. Once considered permanent, tattoos are now becoming increasingly removable, allowing people to change their minds and express themselves in new ways.
