People have been left in utter disbelief over Pete Davidson's tattoo-less body after the Saturday Night Live star opened up about the huge process behind it.
Up until recently, the 31-year-old actor was sporting hundreds of tattoos across his body.
However, in a dramatic turn of events, Davidson decided to laser them off once and for all - something which has clearly divided fans' opinions on social media.

People seemed to have mixed opinions on Davidson's new look with one X user urging: "Put that tats back now he looks weird!"
"This is like an angel without wings," chirped a second while a third demanded: "He should get them all back he looked way hotter before."
And a fourth pointed out: "That’s a lot of lasering."
Others, however, were far more on-board with Davidson's tattoo-less debut.
"Why does he look better without them??" asked a fifth X user.
A sixth wondered: "Hm, strangely he looked better with all the tattoos. I wonder if this new look will mess up his ridiculous line of fine looking ladies he's dated."
"Damn! Tattoos aside he is looking healthy," gushed another.
And a final X user added: "Those laser removal sessions must have been intense!"
Well, yeah.
The SNL star recently opened up on the lengthy process.
Speaking on Late Night with Seth Meyers last week (6 February), Davidson explained that he'll have to wait nearly a decade before all his tats are well and truly removed.
The King of Staten Island actor added: "If it's black and white, it's a little easier.
"But if it's a colour tattoo, it takes forever."
Davidson also revealed there's not actually one singular tattoo he regrets the most, bluntly explaining he regrets 'all of them'.
"I made a lot of those decisions before rehab, so I have the dumbest tattoos," he continued. "I got a collection of cartoons smoking blunts like a muppet smoking a blunt, the Tootsie Pop owl smoking a blunt."
Last month on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Davidson offered fans an insight into the 'horrible' process of tattoo removal - a description not for the faint-hearted.
"They gotta 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," he explained.
"Then you gotta do it, like, 12 more times."
Davidson has already started debuting his tattoo-free look as he's front and centre in Reformation‘s latest campaign.
