If you get a tattoo of a person you admire, pretty much the best case scenario is that they not only notice your tattoo, but like it. Saturday Night Live's Pete Davidson is living that dream.

The comedian posted a photo of his new Hillary Clinton tattoo to Instagram on Friday alongside a very nice caption.

"Wanted to get @hillaryclinton a Christmas gift so I got a tattoo of my hero," he wrote. "Thanks for being such a badass and one of the strongest people in the universe."

Clinton's official account later left a message for Davidson in the comments section.

"Thanks, @petedavidson, 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," it reads.

What a delightful and weird turn of events. To celebrate, I will be getting a tattoo of Pete Davidson getting a tattoo of Hillary Clinton. Thanks.
