This week, the actor stepped out to preview The Room at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California, looking barely recognizable with most of his once signature tattoos now gone.
If you recall, Pete reportedly started removing some of his 100-plus tattoos in 2020 because of how long they take to cover for movies.
“It takes like three hours,” he explained on Late Night With Seth Meyers. “You have to get there three hours earlier to cover all your tattoos, because for some reason, people in movies, they don’t have them that much.”
“Burning them off is worse than getting them,” he added. “Because not only are they, like, 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.”
As a result, the doctor would have to call out tattoos to determine which one to remove, which Pete called “really embarrassing.”
“I’ll just be sitting there all high off of the Pro-Nox — which is actually quite fun, I enjoy it — and then all of a sudden I’ll just hear, ‘Are we keeping the Stewie Griffin smoking a blunt?'” the 30-year-old said. “And then I have to sit there and be like, ‘No, Dr. G.'”
At one point, Pete’s arms were nearly covered in tattoos, but as you can see from the pics here, the ink is now almost completely gone.
I mean, what a difference!
I guess, Pete did say he wanted to have all of the ink gone by 30.
Have you ever removed a tattoo? If so, what was it?
