Pete Davidson Shows Off Tattoo Removal Transformation During Saturday Night Live Appearance

Fair warning, you're about to look at milk a lot differently after this.

A year after hosting Saturday Night Live, Pete Davidson made a surprise return to help his friend and host John Mulaney poke fun at...the Port Authority Duane Reade. (If you know Diner Lobster, you know where we're going with us.)

“Welcome to the Duane Reade inside the Port Authority bus terminal,” a behind-the-counter Mulaney said to Davidson and SNL's Andrew Dismukes. “May I offer you a flu shot?”

Davidson—wearing a t-shirt that showed off his now-almost-bare arms following his tattoo removal—passed on the vaccine but admitted he needed a few things before he and Dismukes catch a bus to Boston. 

"Our system is down right now," Mulaney revealed, "so we are only accepting cash or sex."

Thankfully, Davidson said had change to pay for, um, "that jug of milk in the little fridge...I'll take that."

Yes, that's he wanted. Even Mulaney was appalled. 

"I'm sorry," the host replied. "You mean the gallon of milk surrounded by cans of twisted iced tea in the fridge that's hotter than the rest of the store?"

Davidson insisted it would be OK—"I don't want to make a separate stop at the supermarket in Boston"—and while he thought the jug said organic, well, it actually read organ.

"What's the big deal?" he asked. "Milk is milk, right?"

Wrong. 

Cue a family of possums (that would be Kenan Thompson and Ego Nwodim) singing "Milk From My Wife" to the tune of "The Circle of Life."

“From the moment she gave birth in a backpack, her dozen nipples began to excrete,” Thompson belted out. “But there was more to see than can ever unsee. A plastic jug filled with goop from her teat. It’s milk from my wife and it feeds a soul!”

From there, Mulaney, Davidson and Dismukes went on to poke fun at the Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest, Mayor Eric Adams and why NYC keeps shampoo under lock and key.

For Davidson, the 8-minute cameo marked a rare public outing as he's temporarily stepped out of the spotlight.

Before SNL, he was most recently seen out alongside pal Machine Gun Kelly Oct. 23 in Los Angeles, where he debuted the progress of his jaw-dropping tattoo removal, a stark difference from his previous appearance in which his arms were filled with ink.

So why is he cleaning up his look? Well, now that he's pursuing a career in acting, he wants to avoid sitting for three hours getting his tattoos covered up.

As he explained, "For some reason, people in movies, they don't have them that much."

He's not the only one to undergo a jaw-dropping transformation either. Read on and see for yourself...
