Hillary Clinton Hilariously Responds to 'SNL' Cast Member Pete Davidson's Tattoo of Her

The 2016 presidential candidate admitted she was "honored" by the gesture.

Saturday Night Live cast member Pete Davidson got an early Christmas present for his "hero" Hillary Clinton by getting a tattoo of the 2016 presidential candidate on his right leg. Davidson shared a photo of his new ink on Instagram with the caption, "Wanted to get @hillaryclinton a Christmas gift so I got a tattoo of my hero. Thanks for being such a badass and one of the strongest people in the universe."

Jon Mesa, the artist behind the tattoo confirmed with Us Weekly that it is real. “Yes, its real," Mesa said. "Just did it last night at my shop No Idols Tattoo on Bowery and Grand! It’s a small one on his right leg.”

The ink even got a response out of Hillary, who was actually relieved to see the tat after years of sporting one of her own with Pete's face. "Thanks, @petedavidson, This makes it significantly less awkward that I’ve had a Pete Davidson tattoo for years," she wrote. "But seriously, I’m honored. Merry Christmas my friend."
