1. > A source tells PEOPLE that the actor and Saturday Night Live alum, 30, has spent $200,000 to undergo the process of having his multiple inkings removed from his body.

   > “He just woke up one day and wanted them gone, and it’s been a years-long process,” the source says of the procedure.

   > A second source adds that the tattoo removal is also marking a fresh start for Davidson, who “has been sober since September, and gained twenty pounds.”

2. Rooting for him

3. Tattoos are so stupid.

   Think about what you were into 20 years ago. Do you really want that permanently on your skin?

   People move on and keep rolling. You don’t want things stuck on your skin. Pete definitely felt this.

   And it’s gotten out of control.

   Pirates, gang members, punk musician, marine… sure fine.

   But 40 year old woman or 50 year old banker. No, not cool.

4. That’s going to be a lot of millennials, once the procedures become cheaper and less painful

   The amount of people with a bunch of random nonsense tattoos from their 20s because they were trying to copy that Wiz Khalifa/Lil Wayne 2010s aesthetic is hilarious. People was getting whole sleeves full of regrettable nonsense because girls told them it “looks cute with your tank top and SnapBack hat” circa 2008-2016

5. That must hurt like hell?

6. Glad to hear he’s cleaning up

7. I knew not getting any tattoos would eventually make me trendy

   Edit: I’m not even trying to be snarky, I witnessed nearly everyone I know who’s within my age group (almost 30) get tattoos within the last 10 or so years, that I figured there’d come a point where I’d be the unique one with no tattoos

8. It feels like every couple years he does this

9. This dude is so weird

10. He carries the extra weight well too. Face is fuller and he doesn’t have butthole eyes anymore either. You just know sobriety’s also helping w/ the Crohn’s.

11. someone really needs to invent year-long temp tattoos

12. Once you get over the agony of withdrawal, sobriety is the best!

13. Good for you stay strong your an inspiration

14. Tattoos are very meh. Good for him

15. The current tattoo trend seems to be on the out. I wouldn’t be surprised if other celebrities begin to do the same and remove their tattoos.

16. He never heard the saying “ why would you put a bumper sticker on a Ferrari?”

17. This guy is one of the all time mystery celebrities for me…I just don’t get it.

18. Totally forgot about this guy

19. Crazy how something as permanent as tattoos was basically a fashion trend at one point, sure there’s a lot of similar aged people wishing they could afford the same

20. Unfortunately, all that’s left is an uninked talentless douchebag.

21. Happy for him
    But this is not “NEWS” yikes

22. So is he California sober or *sober* sober?

    Edit: only asking because I know he loves his weed. I’m not judging, just curious.

23. This is why I’ve never gotten a tattoo.

24. He will probably wake up one day and notice all the open canvas on his body and re-tattoo.

25. Awesome. Tattoos are dumb.

26. Makes u wonder how this guy even graduated high school

27. I used to work in laser hair and pigment removal and that could be very painful itself. Laser tattoo pigment removal would be a lot worse. Hopefully some numbing agents used. So many sessions too over the same areas over and over, no wonder it’s 200k.
