Pete Davidson shows off dramatic new look after spending £161,000 removing more than 200 tattoos

Comedian Pete Davidson has made headlines for his new look, which has reportedly cost him a hefty amount to achieve.

Best known for his work on Saturday Night Live, the 31-year-old has also branched out into roles in films such as Bodies Bodies Bodies and Big Time Adolescence in the past few years.

While you may know the American actor for his numerous high-profile relationships, you might also recognise him from his heavily inked body.

But it looks like Davidson has had an awakening in recent years, taking the necessary steps to get rid of the ink.

Speaking on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, he said that he had 200 tattoos, but is currently in the 'horrible' process of removing them.

"Really think about that Game of Thrones tattoo you’ve been thinking about getting,” he joked to the audience.

The gruelling experience is 'worse' than getting tattoos according to Davidson, who explained: “Well, they’ve got to burn off a layer of your skin. And then, it has to heal for like six to eight weeks, and you can’t get in the sunlight.”

He repeated that process 'like 12 more times', while a source close to him told People: “He just woke up one day and wanted them gone, and it’s been a years-long process.”

The comedian said on the Today show that his reasoning behind the move is he 'got sober' and couldn't recognise himself.

Now, the comedian has officially revealed his new look, which has reportedly cost him $200,000 (£161,300) in procedures, during an advert for clothing company, Reformation.

He stars in a three-minute video where he announces that he is the 'Official Boyfriend of Reformation', acting like a good partner to women trying on numerous outfits.

But it was the photos released on the sustainable clothing company's website that left people's jaws on the floor, as the SNL alumni was seen with almost no ink on his body.

Posing topless or in not much else apart from underwear in the snaps, Davidson seemingly looks pleased with his new look, which is a drastic change from the appearance that so many are used to with the comedian.

It isn't clear if makeup was used to cover up some of the ink, given that remnants were showing during his recent TV appearances.

However, it looks like he's almost there, as his torso looks clear of any ink, with Davidson eager to show off his new body,

Fans took to Reddit to share what they were thinking, with one writing: "That is some very impressive laser tattoo removal, you can hardly see them now."

Another wrote: " I’m really happy for him though, he’s seemingly put his everything intro rehabilitating himself.

"He’s looking healthier and happier than ever yet remains his authentic goofy self which we love."

However, a third said: "These are doing absolutely nothing for me. Reading the comments, I‘m definitely in the minority though."
