Pete Davidsonrecently revealed that he’s getting histattoos removed, and said the process is not only incredibly painful, but embarrassing, thanks to some questionable designs he picked out when he was younger. Luckily, theSaturday Night Livestar, 27, has found a way to capitalize on his tattoo regrets.

The comedian, writer, actor and producer teamed up withsmartwaterto help launch the first-ever Rehydration Day — an entire day dedicated to getting Americans rehydrated and replenished after the highly-anticipated, post-COVID July 4th holiday weekend — on Monday, July 5. And for his commercial spot, he took to the tattoo removal chair to talk about other past regrets.

TheKing of Staten Islandstar appears in a clip where he wonders if all of his bad decisions (including runway modeling and using hoverboards) could be attributed to dehydration.

“I’ve made a lot of questionable choices, and a couple of them need removing,” Davidson says at the beginning of the clip, while getting his arm tattoos lasered off. “But now I’m trying to make smarter choices, hydrating with smartwater and stuff like that.”

“After they called…I fell on the floor and started laughing for about three hours,” he joked. “Honestly, as soon as I heard ‘smartwater brand deal’, I went deaf.”

“The [Rehydration Day] campaign is intended to encourage people to, you know, make smarter choices and keep living smarter,” Davidson explained about the initiative. “After the 4th of July, the world’s first ever Rehydration Day is dedicated to get our nation back on its feet, ‘Cause [there] will be partying on July 4th… It’s very important to stay hydrated the next day.”

The ad campaign shows Davidson looking cool and comfortable lounging in white athlesiure, slide sandals teamed with socks and his pH balanced smartwater bottle. It also highlights the new “smartkegs” which will be available for one day only on July 5 in Los Angeles and New York City.

During the interview, theSNLcomedian also showed off his silver nail polish, explaining that he was offered a manicure at a recent photo shoot and couldn’t pass up the opportunity. “When I was getting ready to leave, they were like, ‘Oh yeah, those are gel, that’s not going to come out for like three weeks.”

“I think they’re cool,” he said, “But I wasn’t aware that I would have them for so long.”

The actor’s longtime friendMachine Gun Kellyhas been rockingbold polish and nail artfor months now (with, of course, over-the-top punk-inspired looks to match). “I saw him about a week ago and he was fully dressed to the 10s like we were going to some sort of event,” Davidson said with a laugh. “He was just doing that to play basketball… super fresh just to be playing basketball.

On his friend’s thriving career, Davidson said, “It’s nice and fun to see. That guy has been around for a really long time, you know? So it’s nice when people get to spread their wings and really thrive. But yeah, he’s always ready for a photo shoot. Always ready. It’s funny.”
