Pete Davison surprised fans with a much-welcomed return to Saturday Night Live on Saturday (November 2) after nearly one year since his last appearance on the beloved show, debuting a major tattoo transformation.
According to E!News, the SNL alum showed up to help friend and host John Mulaney deliver an epic "Port Authority Duane Reade" skit in only a way Pete Davidson could. The show kicked off with Mulaney's character asking Davidson if he wanted a flu shot, to which the star replied that he would rather shop around for some retail items.
Davidson wore a short-sleeved shirt as part of the hilarious skit, and fans were quick to notice a particular lack of ink on his arms (once covered with tattoo sleeves). Just last month, the comedian revealed that he underwent a "major tattoo removal" process in 2020 that is currently nearing its end.
Davidson sat down with Seth Meyers as part of Late Night with Seth Meyers in 2021 amid the removal process, explaining that he was looking to get rid of the ink because it took 3 hours to hide the tattoos before his acting roles, and that he would enjoy the opportunity to act more.
"I honestly never thought that I would get an opportunity to act...and I love it a lot."
