Pete Davidson is removing 200 of his “dumbest tattoos,” including tributes to ex-girlfriends, a portrait of Hillary Clinton, and SpongeBob’s DoodleBob. The comedian, known for his extensive ink, has spent years and over $200,000 erasing his body art to shift towards a more refined Hollywood image.

Davidson admitted that covering his tattoos for acting roles was a hassle, often requiring hours of prep. Inspired by his career and sobriety, he’s undergoing painful laser removal, a process that could take years.

His transformation was unveiled in a recent campaign for Reformation, where he confidently showed off his nearly ink-free torso. While fans may miss his signature look, Davidson says he’s “trying to be an adult” and embracing his fresh start.
