Pete Davidson Spent $200K on 'Years-Long' Tattoo Removal, Is Doing 'Really Well' Since Getting Sober in September

Pete Davidson has spent nearly $200,000 to undergo the process of having his multiple tattoos removed from his body, a source exclusively tells PEOPLE. Plus more details on the comedian's sober life and new projects.

A source tells PEOPLE that the actor and Saturday Night Live alum, 30, has spent $200,000 to undergo the process of having his multiple inkings removed from his body. In Oct, 2024 during an appearance in Inglewood, Ca., — at the sneak preview of The Room at the Intuit Dome — Davidson was joined by MGK (Machine Gun Kelly) and showed off his nearly bare arms in a red FDNY T-shirt as he posed with the musician, 34. Davidson’s tattoos ranged from tributes to past girlfriends to a portrait of Hillary Clinton, but he has been speaking out since at least 2020 expressing his interest in having them removed in order to continue his career in acting.
