“Thanks for being such a badass and one of the strongest people in the universe,” he wrote.

“Thanks, @petedavidson,” Clinton responded. “This makes it significantly less awkward that I’ve had a Pete Davidson tattoo for years.  But seriously, I’m honored. Merry Christmas my friend.”

Davidson credited the tattoo to Jon Mesa, who confirmed that it is permanent.

“Yes, it’s real! Just did it last night at my shop No Idols Tattoo on Bowery and Grand! It’s a small one on his right leg,” Mesa told Us Magazine.

Mesa also posted a picture of the tattoo on his Instagram page to provide an idea of how large it is.
