Why Pete Davidson's Hillary Clinton tattoo is the one he won't remove

NEW YORK – Pete Davidson’s committed to removing his tattoos, but his Hillary Clinton ink isn’t going anywhere.

Though the comedian is in the process of removing upwards of 200 tattoos from his body, he revealed on The Breakfast Club that the image of Clinton on his leg is here to stay.

“I love Hillary. I got Hillary after she lost,” he told the hosts on their Power 105.1 morning show. “One, I know her personally and she’s a lovely lady. But also … she’s tough, man. She was really at the forefront of some bulls–t and as someone who’s been at the forefront of some bulls–t, I just wanted to, like, cheer her up a little bit.”

When asked what the 2016 presidential candidate had to say about the body ink, the SNL alum replied, “she loves it.”

“What was cute was when I got them removed, she hit me up and was like, ‘You’re not removing me are you’?” he said. “I was like, ‘Of course not!’ Hillary stays.”

Davidson also said his “feelings changed” about the tattoos as he’s gotten older.

 

“My tattoos sucked. They were all drug-fueled,” Davidson admitted. “I just looked at myself in rehab for the first time when I was sober and was just like, ‘Oh no. What did I do’?”

The 31-year-old still thinks “tattoos are cool,” but only when they have “meaning” to them.

“Mine just weren’t,” he said when explaining his decision to start the removal process in 2020. “So I just started burning them off. Burning them off sucks.”

The Staten Island native offered his advice to those considering ink:”If anyone is thinking of getting a tattoo, I would recommend thinking about it for a couple years, ’cause your feelings change.”

A source told People that The Pickup” actor has spent $200,000 on the removal process.
