Pete Davidson has decided to take a step back from the tattoo removal process by having some new ink that pays homage to his daughter, Scottie.
At one point, Davidson had close to 200 tattoos and revealed during an interview with Seth Meyers on Late Night with Seth Meyers in May 2021 that he had already begun the process of having them removed, which will set the 32-year-old back $200,000.
"It takes, like, three hours — you have to get there, like, three hours earlier — to cover all your tattoos. For some reason, people in movies, they don’t have them that much," the comedian said of the treatment process.
While the actor may have erased some of his tattoos, that doesn't mean he's against having tattoos altogether.

E! News recently reported that Davidson debuted new ink at CinemaCon, a small tattoo that pays tribute to his daughter, Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson.
The tat sits on the side of Davidson's face, next to his ear, and reads ‘Scottie’.
Davidson recently sat down with People Magazine and opened up about becoming a dad for the first time.
"I'm very lucky because Elsie [Hewitt] is a fantastic mom, and I can't stress enough how lucky I am," he said.
"And what's also cool is you get to watch someone come into this other role, and it's so nice to see.
“It's very rewarding to see the person you chose to have a baby with actually crush it so naturally," he continued.
"And so Scottie's very lucky in that way. So we're having a blast. It's really cute, and it's fun to dress up a little baby.”
While Davidson has had many tattoos removed in recent years, one he's decided to keep is an unexpected nod to former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Davidson got the tattoo after the politician missed out on the US presidency to Donald Trump in 2016.
Posting an image of the tattoo to Instagram in 2017, Davidson wrote: "Wanted to get @hillaryclinton a Christmas gift, so I got a tattoo of my hero.
"Thanks for being such a badass and one of the strongest people in the universe."
Clinton replied to the post, saying: "Thanks, @petedavidson, This makes it significantly less awkward that I’ve had a Pete Davidson tattoo for years. But seriously, I’m honored. Merry Christmas, my friend."
