Pete Davidson Reveals Why He’s ‘Burning Off’ His Tattoos
New York Post ^ | May 5, 2021 | Melissa Minton

Posted on 05/05/2021 1:11:43 PM PDT by nickcarraway

The “Saturday Night Live” star, 27, revealed he was scrubbing his ink in December, and opened up about the “really embarrassing” process on Tuesday’s episode of “Late Night With Seth Meyers.”

“Burning them off is worse than getting them, because not only are they burning off your skin, but you’re wearing these big goggles, right? So you can’t see anything, and the doctor’s in there with you,” Davidson began.

“Before he goes to laser each tattoo, you have to hear him announce what the tattoo is to make sure you want to keep it or not. So I’ll just be sitting there all high off the Pro-Nox [nitrous oxide], which I actually quite enjoy … and then, all of a sudden, I’ll just hear, ‘Are you keeping the Stewie Griffin smoking a blunt?'”

Another “star” that few have heard of.

He has junkie eyes, in both pics I’ve seen, here.

If that’s make up, it’s NOT a good look. Just like those lame tats.

But, she has two full sleeves down her arms. Ruined her body.

She told me wife one day she has a hard time getting quality men to ask her out. My. wife about choked.

It's too late to tell her without offense, but the truth I wish her parents had told her is this: tattoos are how the lower classes identify themselves to the rest of us.

Very true!

Most “Christians” have no idea about it and get a tattitude when they are told it’s against Scripture to put them on your skin.

I would guess they might be Christians in name only.

To me, a tattoo is a sick form of virtue signaling.

“Look at me! I’ve got a tattoo!”

“Tattoos are also banned in the Bible. Very explicity.”

Yes, that’s pretty much all that is stopping me from getting one, just one. I worked with a Jewish guy who had one very small tattoo, I’ll never forget how upset his mother was that he had gotten it. TBH, it was the LEAST of his flaws, but of course mom could not see that.

My dad was in the navy in the Pacific, in WWII. How he escaped getting a tattoo, I have no idea.

I agree with you. Especially the ones who say the bible prohibits them. Lol, I’m thinking that for most of them that’s only part of the bible that they have followed.
And I have noticed that the men who marry “Karens” don’t have any tats, they were born pre-whipped.

His eyes are do to a medical condition which I cannot recall. It’s not due to drugs or makeup.

People call him butthole eyes a few years back and it really hurt him as he has the medical condition.

He is very self conscious about his eyes.

As a kid at the beach I saw Navy sailors with tattoos and asked my grandfather about them. He said: tattoos were the marks of criminals and the insane, that only a fool would grab hold of something he couldn’t turn loose of, avoid them.

“Look at me! I’ve got a tattoo!”

That's why tattooed men so often wear wife-beater shirts or, of course, no shirt at all.

But they wear baseball caps (most frequently backwards) to hide their bald heads or, of course, shave so there's no hair at all.

Underlying cause of this behavior? No brain at all.

That reminded me of the story of the tourist at the next urinal who thought the Rastafarian had a tattoo that said "Wendy."   He replied to the tourist, "no mon, it says Welcome to Jamaica and have a Nice Day!"

I've commented to a number of young-ish people, late teens to late twenties, that if I was that young again, I would open a tattoo-removal business. Or a chain of them. Personally, I find tattoo's dopey, and downright hideous on beautiful young women.

Tattoo's: permanent reminders of temporary insanity.

One on the left buttcheek. One on the right.

Nah, I think the only place a Hillary tattoo could reasonably be placed on one's rear-end is...
...dead center, with her mouth located, ah, how to say, at the exit point, if you catch my drift.

Some thoughts on Leviticus 19, tattoos etc…

The old covenant Israelites were living in a theocracy whose laws reflected the character and holiness of God and pointed toward the future when Christ would fulfill the law through his death and resurrection. Christians today live within the new covenant where the law is “in our hearts and minds” Hebrews 10:16 and we are enabled to live a repentant life through the Holy Spirit and our knowledge of Christ and what he has done for us.

The tattoo laws in Leviticus 19 along with hand washing, ritual animal sacrifices and other ritualistic and restrictive laws do not necessarily apply to today’s Christ followers, although the ideas behind them can still guide us. Tattoos and beard trimming and other things mentioned in Leviticus were associated with followers of pagan gods. We can still follow false gods today and we should not dress and groom ourselves so that we appear to align ourselves with these other gods….whether they are gods of wealth, or self-esteem or drug culture or whatever.

To me, I would not categorically say tattoos are always wrong for the Christian, although I don’t like to see them on anybody. They seem to be a self-focused, “look at me and my special expression of myself!” kind of a thing. Our grooming and dress in the morning should reflect our desire to “love my neighbor as myself” and not “look at me, I’m special!”… or “I’m sexy!” or “Look out, I might kill you!”

On the other hand, there is a place for self-expression that does not necessarily detract from our mission to love our neighbor. One of the most unselfish and giving people I have known was a woman who loved to wear bright and flashy colors in church and everywhere else. It was fun to see her and wonder what she was going to wear next Sunday.

But… tattoos, to me, are in a different category. A bright flashy shirt can say, “Hey, I’m a fun, stylish person.” but a tattoo says, “I’m willing to permanently alter my skin to make a statement and I am too short-sighted to even consider that I might regret this later.”

Still, I am willing to consider that I may have a blind, judgmental spot on this point.
