Pete Davidson Gets Naked And Reveals How Many Tattoos He Still Has Left
Maybe call it big Photoshop energy.
Last week, social media was abuzz with the news that Pete Davidson — who at one point had over 200 tattoos — was officially ink-free. The 'receipts' came in the form of a Reformation campaign in which the 'Saturday Night Live' alum was shirtless, and appeared to have successfully removed all his body art.
The 'King of Staten Island' star has been in the process of removing his tattoos for a few years now, and talked about his decision to do so on a 2021 episode of 'Late Night with Seth Meyers.'
Being that Davidson has been linked to his ink for the past few years, social media users on X, formerly Twitter, had mixed feelings on his new look.
put that tats back now he looks weird

The best thing he could've done for himself, honestly. Now he looks like a grown up! I hope his mental health is doing well too

I'm impressed. I've never seen tattoo removal done so flawlessly, honestly.

But on Sunday's 'SNL 50' special, Davidson appeared in a pre-taped sketch in which he essentially got naked, revealing that he still — at least, at the time this was filmed — has numerous tattoos etched all over his torso.
In the skit, called 'Chad in 8H,' Davidson revisits his apathetic and overly chill character 'Chad' who accompanies original 'SNL' cast member Laraine Newman as she takes a nostalgic stroll through the legendary variety show's studio.
At one point in the sketch, Newman tells Chad that back when she started on the show in 1975, she 'would have been all over you.'
This remark prompts Davidson's Chad to take off all his clothes, revealing that Davidson still has tats all over his stomach and chest. His tattoos on his arms and shoulders seem to be fading, or almost entirely gone, however.
It's unclear when Davidson and Newman's 'SNL 50' sketch was filmed or when his Reformation photos were shot. But Davidson has been photographed within the past six months with tattoos still visible on his arms — and in the Reformation ads, all his tattoos appear to be gone.
HuffPost has reached out to Davidson and Reformation for clarity.
Davidson has also recently made some comments that seem to indicate that he's not entirely ink-free just yet.
In January, Davidson told Jimmy Fallon on the 'Tonight Show' that tattoo removal is a long and painful process.
'It's horrible,' Davison told Fallon at the time. 'They have to burn off a layer of your skin, and then it has to heal for six to eight weeks, and you can't get in the sunlight. And then you gotta do it, like, 12 more times.'
Davidson, who is currently 31 years old, also told Seth Meyers earlier this month that he likely won't be entirely tattoo-free until he's 40 and that it takes 'at least seven visits' to fully get rid of just one tattoo.

He was 86. The actor passed away peacefully in his home in Sedona, Arizona, at 12:30 a.m. on June 9, 2025. Francis took to her profile on X (formerly Twitter) to post a photo from her on-screen wedding in 1981 to Luke Spencer saying, 'I am so sad, he will be missed. @GeneralHospital' The official General Hospital Instagram page paid tribute to the late actor posting photos of his time on the show with the following caption: 'General Hospital's enduring legacy owes a debt of gratitude to Chris Robinson and his portrayal of Dr. Rick Webber. Our hearts go out to his family and friends as they mourn their loss. May he rest in peace.' The actor made his professional debut, uncredited, in the 1957 movie The Midnight Story. His big break came nearly a decade later when he joined 12 O'Clock Hour as Technical Sgt. Sandy Komansky, a role he played from 1965 to 1967. The actor made his daytime television debut on General Hospital as Dr. Rick Webber in 1978. His front-burner romance and love triangle between Dr. Lesley Sullivan and Dr. Monica Quartermaine caused ripples throughout Port Charles and drove story for years. Robinson played the role of Rick Webber off and on with his last appearance in 2013. While on General Hospital, his character became the adoptive father of Laura Webber, of Luke and Laura fame. In addition to General Hospital, Robinson also portrayed the role of Jack Hamilton on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Does Tom Selleck make you want to get a reverse mortgage?
In a billion-dollar ad campaign, Dan Levy and Heidi Gardner travel around the country collecting local data for the listing portal, with the catch line 'We've done your homework.' It's the largest real estate ad buy in history, designed to draw would-be homebuyers to the site. But the Emmy-winning Levy and 'Saturday Night Live' cast member Gardner are hardly the first celebrities to shill in the real estate sector. Years ago, John Wayne had a side job as a spokesman for Great Western, one of the country's largest mortgage lenders at the time. When 'Duke' died in 1979, the gig was taken over by actor Dennis Weaver of 'Gunsmoke' fame. Both actors are gone now, as is the once-big California savings bank. But many others followed in their wake. Elizabeth Banks was once the face of a rival. And who can forget the long list of actors representing the reverse mortgage business? Right now, the frontman is Emmy- and Golden Globe-winning actor Tom Selleck. But before him came actor-turned-Senator Fred Thompson, Henry 'the Fonz' Winkler, Robert Wagner and Jerry Orbach. A spokesperson doesn't necessarily need to be super famous, but they should at least be recognizable. Take Peter Koch, who once did ads for buyer-agent matching service HomeLight. He's a former NFL player who has appeared in numerous movies and TV shows. When you see him, you know him, but you're not sure where from. There are reasons companies pay to have someone like Selleck or Wayne endorse them. Celebrities can give a product or brand instant credibility, not to mention increased publicity. In the long run, according to a 2016 Forbes article, these endorsements 'encourage more and more customers to find out more about the business their favorite celebrity happens to be supporting.' Forbes cites Social Media Week to claim that one endorsement by a famous actor or sports star can increase sales by about 4%. But companies must choose the right personality. The wrong choice can backfire — if not now, then perhaps down the road. For instance, comedian Bill Cosby was once considered a bankable, believable spokesman. He hawked Jell-O, Coca-Cola and numerous other products before being convicted of sex crimes. O.J. Simpson shilled for Hertz and Lance Armstrong pitched for Subaru before they each fell from grace. Or consider the former PGA golfers who lost sponsorships after joining the Saudi Arabia-sponsored LIV Golf tour. Rocket Mortgage dropped Bryson DeChambeau after he joined LIV. Similarly, RBC, Canada's largest bank, cut ties with Dustin Johnson and Graeme McDowell. Rocket, one of the nation's largest lenders, is often credited with being the first in the mortgage sector to recognize the value of partnering with sports teams. In 2019, the company created the first-ever PGA tour event in its Detroit hometown. And now it is so entwined with the industry that the Rocket name is practically ubiquitous in the sports world. In addition to hosting the Motor City event, Rocket is an official partner of the PGA; it also has deals with NFL teams, the World Pro Ski Tour, and dozens of college football and basketball programs. Rocket's founder, Dan Gilbert, owns the Cleveland Cavaliers of the NBA, as well as other sports franchises. These connections are undoubtedly part of the reason Rocket topped the USA Today Super Bowl Ad Meter two years in a row. But other big-name lenders link their names with sports teams, too. Ruoff Mortgage, which is licensed to originate loans in 45 states, has a multiyear partnership with NASCAR. And Guaranteed Rate is the official mortgage partner of the National Hockey League, as well as a backer of professional rugby teams and bass fishing events. Firms sometimes support smaller local teams, too. For the same reason that a large, national outfit pays big money for the naming rights to a professional team's stadium — think LoanDepot Park and the Miami Marlins, among others — they might also put their name on a minor league field, or perhaps just a fence surrounding a sandlot. In Pepperell, Massachusetts, for example, the local Mortgage Network office sponsored the town's youth baseball and softball programs. It's an affordable investment that lets people know the company supports the town and its kids. And when the need for a mortgage arises, the hope is that Mortgage Network will be top-of-mind. Sports marketing is appealing for the housing industry, especially mortgage companies, for the same reasons that advertisers seek celebrity endorsements: A connection to a team brings instant recognition and credibility. We support the team, the thinking goes, so the team's fans will support us. Of course, most entities don't have the big bucks to spend that Rocket does. But there are numerous opportunities at sports' lower levels — from youth sports to the minor leagues to local marathons to college events.

Doom: The Dark Ages PS5 Trophy Glitch Made Worse by Update
Annoying PS5 ' glitch was supposed to be fixed with update 1 that rolled out last week, but it has actually made the problem worse. Not only does the trophy remain glitched for some players, there are reports that those who haven't fulfilled the requirements for it are randomly unlocking the trophy after booting up Doom: The Dark Ages following the patch. It's unclear what triggers the Berserker trophy glitch. As previously explained, the trophy requires players to acquire all Shield Base, Shield Rune, and Melee Weapon upgrades. However, some players aren't able to unlock the trophy despite trying numerous suggested workarounds. It was initially assumed that the trophy becomes glitched if players purchase the upgrades naturally while playing the game, but works if all the upgrades are purchased in one go. However, that isn't the case for everyone. Our guess is that there is a very specific trigger for the glitch that no one has figured out yet. Fast forward to last week, when Bethesda claimed that Doom: The Dark Ages update 1 fixes the Berserker trophy retroactively. While the update worked for a number of players, many of those who experienced the glitch took to Twitter, Reddit, and PSNProfiles to complain that they're still stuck with the glitch. Over on PSNProfiles, several commenters said that they are on their first playthrough of the game and have not fulfilled Berserker's requirements, but saw the trophy pop when booting up Doom: The Dark Ages after applying update 1. There's no comment from Bethesda at the time of this writing, but we'll try to get a response. The post Doom: The Dark Ages PS5 Trophy Glitch Made Worse by Update appeared first on PlayStation LifeStyle.
