— -- Hillary Clinton has made quite an impression on "Saturday Night Live" cast member Pete Davidson -- on his right leg, to be exact.

Davidson, who publicly supported Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, posted a photo Friday on Instagram of his new tattoo, which is of Clinton.

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

"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."
