Pete Davidson has new tattoo
Published in Entertainment News
Pete Davidson has got a new tattoo - after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars getting most of his old inkings removed.
The former Saturday Night Live star announced in 2021 that his tattoos would "all be gone" by the time he hit 30 years old, but photos from this month's CinemaCon 2026 in Las Vegas showed the 32-year-old comic has added a new piece of body art.
Pete's new tattoo is a tribute to his and partner Elsie Hewitt's four-month-old daughter Scottie, with the little girl's name inked close to his ear.
The Bupkis star has yet to comment on the new artwork, but he has repeatedly discussed how painful the process to remove his 200 tattoos has been.
He told Entertainment Tonight: "It's awful. I've been filming it and showing all the younger people in my family to be like, 'If you don't like it, this is what you have to do.'
"But I'm excited 'cause I'm making changes. So I'm excited, but it sucks."
Pete also revealed he wasn't getting rid of all his tattoos because he wanted to keep designs inspired by The Sopranos, as well as two poignant pieces he had for his mom, Amy Waters Davidson, and late father Scott Davidson, a firefighter who died during the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York.
He said: "I got all these tattoos, so my mom was like, 'How come you've never gotten a "Mom" tattoo?' Now I have a tattoo that just says 'MOMTATTOO.' That one has to stay...
"I have my dad's ID [number], and that's pretty much it."
The King of Staten Island star previously explained he views getting his tattoos removed as a fresh start after overcoming addition.
He told Variety: "I used to be a drug addict and I was a sad person, and I felt ugly and that I needed to be covered up.
"So I'm just removing them and starting fresh, because that's what I think works best for me and for my brain. When I look in the mirror, I don't want the reminder of 'Oh yeah, you were a f******drug addict. Like, that's why you have SpongeBob smoking a joint on your back."
Pete has spent more than $200,000 having them removed.
He admitted: "It's a pretty uncomfortable amount of money to disclose, but I think one of the tabloids already leaked it.
"I've already spent like 200k and I'm like 30 per cent done. So, like, it's gonna suck ... My arms are pretty much gone, and my hands and neck are gone. But I still have to do my torso and back."
