Pete Davidson issues warning after explaining horrific process of 'burning off' all of his tattoos

Pete Davidson issues warning after explaining horrific process of 'burning off' all of his tattoos

The Saturday Night Live star is thought to have had around 200 different tattoos

Pete Davidson has issued a stark warning to anyone thinking about getting a new tattoo.

It's thought that more than 25 percent of Americans regret getting their tattoos, says Psychology Today, and The King of Staten Island star Davidson is one of them.

The celebrity says that he has around 200 tattoos, and we all remember that 'MY GIRL IS A LAWYER' inking he had as an ode to his then-girlfriend Kim Kardashian.

The 31-year-old also seemed to get a tattoo that paid tribute to Kardashian's children, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West.

But now, Davidson is wanting to get rid of not only his Kardashian-related inkings, but almost all of his tattoos.

He shared his intentions of getting rid of some of his body art back in 2020, and late last year he debuted some of the ongoing results on Saturday Night Live.

Fans were floored to see Davidson without his signature forearm art.

Davidson has since chatted about his tattoo removal to Jimmy Fallon when featured on his show in recent days.

Noting that his tattoos were 'going away', Davidson replied: "Yeah, I've been burning them off. They're almost gone."

When asked if the removal process is painful, the actor and comedian said: "It's horrible. It's worse [than getting the tattoo done].

"They've got to burn off a layer of your skin, and then it has to heal for six to eight weeks. And you can't get in the sunlight. Then you've got to do it, like, 12 more times."

Davidson then turned to the audience and warned: "So really think about that Game of Thrones tattoo you're thinking of getting."

Further on in the conversation, Davidson described himself as a 'sad boy' for getting nearly 200 inkings, adding that it was a 'weird time'.

"Everybody was getting tattoos, like, five years ago," he went on.

In regards to keeping any of his body art, Davidson said 'maybe two or three', but didn't specify which ones.

"I'm trying to clean slate it. I'm trying to be an adult," the 31-year-old, who was once engaged to Ariana Grande, quipped.

Fallon and Davidson proceeded to chat about Saturday Night Live, as the well-loved live show is marking its 50th anniversary in February.

Davidson has been on and off the show since he was 20 years old.

Speaking last month, the actor revealed that he was (or still is) paid around $3,000 per episode.

Joking what he does with that money, he said he 'got dinner'.
