Pete Davidsononce treated his body as a canvas.
The actor is surprisingly heavily tattooed, having over 100 individualtattoosin total.
Davidson has been candid about getting tattooed as a coping mechanism in the past.
He initially began getting tattoos to cover self-harm scars.
“That’s why I started getting tats on my chest, to cover them.
It’s just a release, if you might’t get a tattoo … Davidson explained that going to rehab taught him better coping mechanisms.
In a recent interview withPeople, he shared it’ll take a while to get all of them off.
“I get my next treatment [in] like a month or so.
They said by the time I’m 30, they should all be gone,” he shared.
“So they got like two more years left of this.”
Here’s a look at all the ink Davidson’s gotten over the years.
The tattoo said “Swerve Life,” a lyric from Big Sean’s song “Mercy.”
It was a matching tattoo with a friend, one of many that Davidson would get over the years.
There are certainly quite a few phrases in Davidson’s collection.
A large keyhole tattoo appears under it with the phrase “Bada Bing” beneath it.
On his right hand is “REDRUM,” also in red ink.
A smiling heart on the left side of his chest had the word “wobbly” added to it.
There’s also some old fashioned ink dedicated to Davidson’s upbringing in Staten Island, New York.
He has a the Verrazano bridge on his left shoulder with a Wu-Tang bat symbol (perComplex Magazine).
He also has “shaolin,” another Wu-Tang reference, across his belly.
Pete was just 7 years old (per The Things).
He has a number of tattoos in his honor.
He also has a copy of his father’s driver’s license tattooed.
On his left forearm, he has his dad’s badge number, 8418.
His initials are also on Pete’s inner left arm.
Pete also has their last name, Davidson, inked down his left side.
Davidson had gotten David’s name tattooed on his left ring finger.
Her favorite emoji was on his next finger.
Davidson also had a caricature of David on his inner right arm.
Her favorite emoji was covered with a cloud emoji, Ariana Grande’s favorite.
He later added the signature “Dangerous Woman” bunny ears.
At the same day, he got AG inked on his thumb.
More tattoos came when the couple got engaged in June 2018 (PerThe Sun).
Both marked the occasion with the word “reborn” on their thumbs.
It was later replaced with an arrow.
Later, he covered it with a large tattoo that reads “cursed.”
Davidson also got a tattoo of the couple’s pet pig, Piggy Smallz.
When the whirlwind relationship came to an end, however, the coverups began.
Much of his ink comes from Jon Mesa (perWeight And Skin).
Mesa is responsible for Davidson’s Cazzie David forest cover-up, an enormous and well-done feat.
“Because relationships come and go, and Pete is a really young man.
[But] I think that went in one ear and out the other.”
Mesa has given Davidson some serious portraits (perBody Art Guru).
A portrait of the “Tommy’s Mother Painting” is on Davidson’s right side.
He did a lovely little Grinch near Davidson’s right elbow as well.
In 2016, he added a Hillary Clinton tattoo in honor of her presidential candidacy.
He went on to add a portrait of Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 2019.
Davidson has been a canvas for some of Mesa’s more traditional work as well.
It’s about how hard you’re able to get hit and keep moving forward.”
There’s also a faceless profile in a hoodie.
Mesa’s also done some cartoonish work on Davidson.
Willy Wonka lives on his left forearm.
A sleepy, smiling toaster is on his left arm as well, with Spongebob tattooed underneath.
Pacman and some ghosts are inked in the middle of his stomach, just underneath a ghost emoji.
On the left, he has Winnie the Pooh inked on his side.
On the right side of Davidson’s back is a sizable lighting design.
It’s not just Looney Tunes and Disney either.
Davidson also has an affinity for Pokemon.
A tiny Pikachu lives on his left index finger.
On his left pinky finger is a Pokeball.
“Here’s the thing about the’Harry Potter' crap.
He’s also got some “Harry Potter” finger tattoos.
After Rowling came under fire for anti-trans remarks, Davidson doubled down.
“I didn’t know J.K. Rowling was going to go all Mel Gibson on us.
There are some popular tattoo fads in there, however.
He’s got rubber ducks and a red broken heart, all along with an angel smoking a cigarette.
And of course, no massive tattoo collection would be complete without an enormous unicorn tattoo.
