After being romantically linked with a series of stunning, renowned, and talented women (but unfortunately not me, what gives?), the internet has labeled comedian Pete Davidson as the “ideal” boyfriend. This is especially true now that the once heavily tattooed heartthrob appears to be tattoo-free.

In a Valentine’s Day campaign for the fashion label Reformation released on Wednesday (local time), the 31-year-old star revealed his bare chest. While this is typically a common sight for male celebrities leading sultry campaigns, fans were taken aback to find no trace of the comedian’s 200 tattoos.

According to Reformation, Pete is the “go-to complement to beautiful and talented women everywhere,” making his collaboration with the brand—billed as “the other go-to complement to beautiful and talented women everywhere”—a natural fit.

“I’m someone’s boyfriend and I take that seriously,” Pete states in the advertisement.

“It’s honest work and somebody’s got to do it. I’m just putting in the work to make the world a little better.”

Despite never having dated the beautiful and talented woman who penned this article (a true misfortune), he has been romantically involved with individuals such as Phoebe Dynevor, Margaret Qualley, Kim Kardashian, and Ariana Grande, among others.

Pete’s fresh, clean-cut appearance follows his announcement in January about undergoing extensive laser tattoo removal.

Speaking with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, he shared details about the excruciatingly painful procedure.

“They have to burn off a layer of your skin and then it must heal for about six to eight weeks, during which you can’t be exposed to sunlight. And then you have to repeat it around 12 more times,” he explained to the late-night host.

That, my friends, is precisely why I still have those regrettable stick-and-poke tattoos on my fingers from a rather inebriated Sunday night during the COVID lockdowns.

“Really consider that Game Of Thrones tattoo you’re contemplating. Seriously think it over,” he humorously advised the audience.

When asked about which tattoo he regretted the most, Pete couldn’t pinpoint just one.

“All of them,” he confessed.

“Most of those decisions were made before rehab, so I have the silliest tattoos. I have a collection of cartoons smoking blunts, like a Muppet smoking a blunt, and the Tootsie Pop owl smoking a blunt.”

Apart from the pain and the time required, I can only imagine the amount of money he must have spent on these sessions to get his skin to this point. Ouchie mama indeed!!!
