Davidson, the former boyfriend of Kim Kardashian, said he saw himself in the mirror post-sobriety and felt  the need for a change. "I got sober and I saw myself in the mirror, and I was like, 'Nah.' I was like, 'I need to change it up a little bit." 

He has humorously referred to some of these tattoos as being from a "weird time" when he was "a sad boy," suggesting that the removal process is also about moving past those moments.

The comedian said the process of tattoo removal is "horrible" and "worse than getting them,"
