Back in 2020, Pete started the laser removal process for his hundreds of tattoos. Why? Because of how long they took to cover on movie sets.

Well, in a new interview on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon, Pete gave an update on how “burning them off” has been going.

“They’re almost gone,” he said. As for the process, he explained, “It’s horrible. It’s worse [than getting a tattoo]. They gotta burn off a layer of your skin, and then it has to heal for six to eight weeks and you can’t get in the sunlight. And then you gotta do it like 12 more times. So really think about that Game of Thrones tattoo.”

Estimating his previous tattoo count at around 200, he continued, “I was a sad boy. It was a weird time. I don’t know, everybody was getting tattoos like five years ago. Post Malone was like ‘Always Tired,’ and I was like, ‘Me too dude, I’m exhausted.'”

“I’m trying to clean slate it, trying to be an adult,” he concluded, noting that he will probably only keep “two or three” of his original ink.
