This past week, Pete Davidson made an appearance on Jimmy Fallon and touched upon his tattoo removal journey. Sources close to Pete have gone on to report that he has spend upwards of $200,000 over the past few years to remove his tattoos. “He just woke up one day and wanted them gone, and it’s been a years-long process,” the source says of the procedure. Pete detailed how difficult the process has been. “It’s Horrible… well, they’ve got to burn off a layer of your skin. And then, it has to heal for like six to eight weeks, and you can’t get in the sunlight.” Did the actor and comedian really spend $200k on tattoo removal and is the process of removing a tattoo as difficult as Pete purports us to believe?

How much does laser tattoo removal cost?
Today, it can been quite difficult to understand how laser tattoo removal practitioners arrive at their pricing. Though laser tattoo removal pricing will depend on the number of sessions required, the color and size of the tattoos, the quality of the device used, and a number of other factors beyond your control - the reality is that getting laser tattoo removal done safely and effectively has historically been a lot more complex than it should be. At CLEO, all of our pricing is transparent so you know what you’re signing up for. Extra large tattoo removal sessions start from as little as $480 per session. With this in mind, we’re quite skeptical of how Pete could have ended up spending so much money.
Do tattoo removal lasers burn your skin?
Before Candela’s release of the Picoway Laser®, laser tattoo removal was quite the challenge. Unlike legacy devices, the PicoWay® laser's ultra-short picosecond pulses target tattoo ink with incredible precision, minimizing heat transfer to the surrounding skin. This means it effectively shatters ink particles without burning the skin or damaging the outer layers. This approach not only reduces discomfort during the procedure but also helps preserve the skin's integrity, leading to faster healing and a lower risk of scarring compared to traditional lasers. Let’s just say that if Pete had gone to a provider with the latest generation of equipment, his experience would have been a lot better than he articulated on Fallon.
