This week, Pete opened up to Variety about the mental state he was in when he decided to get his 200+ tattoos. He said, “It was really just because I wasn’t taking care of myself. 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.”

Pete Davidson revealed in an interview with 'Variety' that his extensive tattoo collection reminds him of his battle with addiction and said that removing all of the tattoos will likely take another 10 years.
