Pete Davidson Keeping Tattoos for Mom, Late Dad Amid Removal Process

Pete Davidson can’t wait to be rid of his tattoos—most of them, at least.

While the Saturday Night Live alum is in the midst of a yearslong process to remove his extensive body art—totaling more than 200 individual designs—one in particular, dedicated to his mom Amy Waters Davidson, isn’t going anywhere.

“I got all these tattoos, so my mom was like, ‘How come you’ve never gotten a “Mom” tattoo?’” Pete, 31, told Entertainment Tonight in an interview published Oct. 31. “Now I have a tattoo that just says ‘MOMTATTOO.’ That one has to stay.”

The King of Staten Island star—who is expecting his first baby with pregnant girlfriend Elsie Hewitt—noted he also plans to keep his various Sopranos-inspired tats along with one honoring his late father Scott Davidson, a firefighter who died during the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center.

“I have my dad’s ID [number],” he shared, “and that’s pretty much it.”
