For the past few weeks, Pete Davidson's tattoo removal process has been garnering headlines left and right.
While appearing on The Tonight Show last month, he opened up about "burning" off nearly 200 of his tattoos, saying most have been removed.
"They gotta 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. So really think about that Game of Thrones tattoo," he said.
A few days later, Pete also chatted with Seth Meyers on Late Night about the process, saying he didn't know how long it would take.
"Like, when I'm 40, it'll all be gone, like the chest and the back,' he said.
Then Pete all but broke the internet ahead of Valentine's Day when he stripped down to his underwear for a campaign with lifestyle brand Reformation.
In the campaign photos, Pete showed off his upper body without the many tattoos that he's become well-known for having.
For reference, here's Pete with all his tattoos in 2019 on the set of his film The King of Staten Island.
Well, it seems Pete is still in the process of removing many of the tattoos and hasn't actually gotten rid of most across his chest.
Pete revived his Saturday Night Live character Chad for a digital short as part of the long-running series' 50th anniversary celebration on Sunday.
In a video short alongside original cast member Laraine Newman, Pete is seen shirtless, which reveals he's still got a good bulk of his tattoos.
As you can see, most of his tattoos on his arms have been removed, but many still remain on his chest.
