He told Seth, 'So now I'm burning them off, but burning them off is worse than getting them.
'Because not only are they, like, burning off your skin, but you're wearing these big goggles, right? So you can't see anything and the doctor's in there with you,' he continued.
'So before he goes to laser each tattoo, you have to hear him announce what the tattoo is to make sure if you want to keep it or not.
'So I'll just be sitting there all high off of the [nitrous oxide] … and then all of a sudden I'll just hear, "Are we keeping the Stewie Griffin smoking a blunt?" And then I have to sit there and be like, "No, Dr. G."'
