The former SNL star showed off his new look after having close to 200 tattoos removed from his body—and fans are torn.

Actor and former SNL star Pete Davidson has become an unlikely heartthrob since coming onto the scene, but fans aren't too sure about his new look.

The actor has long been known for his huge collection of tattoos that covered both arms and almost all of his torso—big tattoos, small tattoos, black and white tattoos, color tattoos, the dude was a walking billboard for tattoos.


But not anymore! Davidson recently posed in an ad campaign for clothing brand Reformation, in which he was featured in a sweatshirt branding him the "official boyfriend," among other looks.

The pic that most caught everyone's eye, though? Davidson not only shirtless, but tattoo-less.

The change of look definitely made waves on social media, with many fans devastated by the abrupt change.


But not everyone was lamenting—some thought the tattoo-free look was a definite upgrade.


Like it or not, the tats are gone—or a lot of them are anyway. As seen on the recent SNL 50th Anniversary special, where Davidson stripped for iconic alumna Laraine Newman, many of Davidson's tattoos still exist, although it's unclear when the sketch was actually filmed.

But they likely won't for long. The actor has reportedly spent $200,000 so far having some 200 of them removed in painful procedures he began undergoing in 2020.

A source supposedly closed to Davidson told People:

“He just woke up one day and wanted them gone, and it’s been a years-long process."

Davidson reportedly began removing them due to the lengthy make-up processes required for covering them up in films, but People's source said it's also part of a new start in his life after he recently got sober.

Whatever the reasons, Davidson has talked about how unpleasant the process is, telling the TODAY show hosts during a recent appearance:

"It’s pretty terrible, so if anybody out there is watching and thinking about getting a tattoo, make sure you really want to get it."

Good advice.
