Pete Davidson is reportedly removing all 70+ of his tattoos. Here's a guide to the comedian's ink.

  • Pete Davidson has over 70 tattoos on his body.
  • The "Saturday Night Live" comedian has ink inspired by past relationships and his favorite movies.
  • He also has tattoos for his late father, a firefighter who died in the September 11th attacks.

Pete Davidson is reportedly getting rid of the more than 70 tattoos covering his body.

During a virtual Q&A with "The King of Staten Island" cast in December 2020, the 27-year-old "Saturday Night Live" cast member revealed that he's "in the process of getting all his tattoos removed," per Mike McGranaghan, a film critic who attended the event.

Over the years, Davidson's tattoos have become a visual representation of his life story - chronicling romances with past partners, like Cazzie David and Ariana Grande, and paying homage to his father, a firefighter who died in the September 11th terrorist attacks.

While a lot of Davidson's tattoos are light-hearted, like a Winnie the Pooh cartoon and a Hillary Clinton portrait, Davidson began getting ink to hide the marks he gave himself from cutting his chest as a form of self-harm.

"That's why I started getting tats on my chest, to cover them. It's just a release, if you can't get a tattoo... When [I'm] so manic and upset, sometimes that's the only thing that will work for me," he explained during a February 2020 interview with Inked Mag.
