Removing his Hillary Clinton ink? That’s a bit tat-too far for Pete Davidson. 

Terrible puns aside, the former Saturday Night Live star told Variety on Wednesday he is in the process of getting about 200 tattoos lasered off of his body. Most were “f*ckin’ horrible,” Davidson said.

But there is at least one he will keeping forever: the power suit-donning depiction of Clinton circa 1996 on his right leg.

“She stays. That’s my dog,” Davidson said. “I love Hillary, man. She’s awesome and a good friend.”

Davidson’s announcement isn’t a total shock, considering his support for the ex-Secretary of State over the years. He has said she is both a “lovely lady” and “tough,” and he also went on an Instagram rant about America being sexist right after she lost to President Donald Trump in 2016.

Davidson fumed:

I cannot believe this bullsh*t. It almost — something’s up. Something’s wrong, and something’s up, and I don’t think this was very fair, but basically what you’re telling me is that you won’t let this sweet old lady be president? Who’s — nobody’s more qualified than her to be president.

She’s been helping the whole entire world for 30 years and you’re not going to let her be president because she’s a woman? And you’re going to let a f*cking rapist, somebody who doesn’t even know how to f*cking read, somebody who doesn’t know anything about politics, someone who’s f*cking racist, a piece of sh*t, “grab ’em by the p*ssy,” all on camera — are you serious? This is f*cked up.

The following year, Davidson opted to honor Clinton by getting his tattoo.

“Wanted to get [Clinton] a Christmas gift so I got a tattoo of my hero,” he posted. “Thanks for being such a badass and one of the strongest people in the universe.”
