00:00Pete Davidson is realizing the cost of cleaning up his look.

00:04A Saturday Night Live alum reveals in an interview with Variety April 23rd

00:08that he so far dropped six figures on lasering off his ink collection,

00:13which at one point boasted 200 different designs.

00:16He says, quote,

00:17It's a pretty uncomfortable amount of money to disclose.

00:19I've already spent like $200,000 and I'm like 30% done.

00:23So like, it's gonna suck.

00:25And the 31-year-old is likely going to be spending more in the next decade.

00:30He continues, quote,

00:31I started during COVID in 2020 and it's gonna take me another 10 years.

00:35My arms are pretty much done and my hands and neck are gone,

00:38but I still have to do my torso and back.

00:41As for the removal procedure, he says, quote,

00:43I have to plan it in between work because it's a six-week healing process

00:47each time you get one removed.

00:49Each tattoo is 10 to 12 sessions.

00:51That's 60 weeks of your life right there on just one tattoo to remove.

00:55So it's pretty horrible.

00:57As for why he's doing it,

00:58Pete, who sought treatment for mental health and addiction struggles in recent years,

01:03explains, quote,

01:04I used to be a drug addict and I was a sad person and I felt ugly and that I needed to be covered up.

01:09And I don't think there's anything wrong with tattoos,

01:11but mine, when I look at them,

01:13I remember a sad person that was very unsure.

01:16For the comedian, getting rid of his tattoos is a way of starting fresh.

01:19He says, quote,

01:20when I look in the mirror,

01:21I don't want the reminder of,

01:23oh yeah,

01:23you were a f***ing drug addict.

01:25Like,

01:25that's why you have a Spongebob smoking a joint on your back.

01:29They should have meaning.

01:30You're a f***ing.

01:31You're a f***ing.

01:32You're a f***ing.

01:33You're a f***ing.

01:34You're a f***ing.

01:35You're a f***ing.

01:36You're a f***ing.
