Will ‘Queer Eye’ continue after Season 9? Here’s what the cast says.
The cast of Netflix’s “Queer Eye” talked with USA TODAY’s Ralphie Aversa at iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball about the show’s future and more.
Pete Davidson’s tattoo removal journey will be neither brief nor cheap.
The former “Saturday Night Live” star, 31, revealed in an interview with Variety published April 23 that he has spent $200,000 on getting all of his tattoos removed, and he isn’t even halfway finished.
“It’s a pretty uncomfortable amount of money to disclose, but I think one of the tabloids already leaked it,” Davidson told Variety. “I’ve already spent like 200K and I’m like 30% done. So, like, it’s gonna suck.”
The comedian also said it may take another 10 years before all of his tattoos are gone, noting he still has “to do my torso and back.” Davidson, who has opened up about his mental health struggles and borderline personality disorder diagnosis, reflected that he wanted to remove his tattoos because he got them done during a time when he “wasn’t taking care of” himself.
“I used to be a drug addict and I was a sad person, and I felt ugly and that I needed to be covered up,” he told Variety. “And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with tattoos, but mine, when I look at them, I remember a sad person that was very unsure. So I’m just removing them and starting fresh, because that’s what I think works best for me and for my brain.”
Davidson started getting his tattoos removed in 2020.
On “Late Night with Seth Meyers” in 2021, he said he was inspired to do so in part because “it takes like three hours” to cover them up for his acting roles. “So now I’m burning them off, but burning them off is worse than getting them,” he said.
In January, the “King of Staten Island” star shared he has continuing getting his tattoos removed and that it’s been “horrible,” noting he at one point had around 200 of them.
“They’ve got to burn off a layer of your skin, and then it has to heal for, like, six to eight weeks,” he said. “And you can’t get in the sunlight, and then you’ve got to do it, like, 12 more times. So really think about that ‘Game of Thrones’ tattoo you’re thinking of getting.”
Davidson added that he might keep “two or three” tattoos but is “trying to clean slate it” and “trying to be an adult.”
