Pete Davidson Debuts New Face Tattoo After Spending $200K to Remove His Ink
Pete Davidson’s inked-up era isn’t entirely over.
The Saturday Night Live alum, 32, debuted a brand-new tattoo in honor of his daughter, Scottie, on the left side of his face during the Amazon MGM Studios CinemaCon 2026 presentation on April 15, which was held at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Just below his sunglasses was Scottie’s name written vertically in all capital letters near his ear. (Davidson and his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, welcomed their first child together in December 2025.)
The comedian also showed off his nearly bare arms while promoting his new movie, How to Rob a Bank, at the event. He kept it casual with his style, rocking a red T-shirt paired with grey sweatpants, a black baseball cap and black shades.
Davidson has a starring role in the upcoming comedy heist slated for release on September 4. The movie is about a crew of criminal YouTubers, led by Nicholas Hoult‘s character, who have built up a following of 31 million online. The film also features Zoë Kravitz, John C. Reilly and Christian Slater.
Davidson’s character notes their goal is to pay the money forward to a good cause, clarifying, “And it has to be a real one, OnlyFans is not a charity.”
Outside of work, Davidson has been enjoying daddy duty while undergoing an extensive tattoo removal process that began in 2020.

“I got sober and I saw myself in the mirror and I was like, ‘Nah. Who that?’ I was like, ‘I got to change it up a little bit,’” he shared during a January 2025 interview on Today.
Davidson admitted the process has been far from pain-free.
“It’s pretty terrible, so if anybody out there is watching and thinking about getting a tattoo, make sure you really want to get it,” he told hosts Savannah Guthrie and Craig Melvin.

People previously reported that Davidson spent $200,000 to get rid of many of his tattoos, ditching the many designs he had on his arms, hands and neck.
As for being a new dad, he told Us Weekly in January 2026 that it’s been the joy of his life.
“The best thing I’ve been telling people is [that Scottie is] the biggest gift,” Davidson exclusively told Us. “Nothing else matters as much or intensely, like career, activities, hanging out with people [or] what do people think of me, that sort of s***. I still want to do cool stuff, but it’s like, ‘Well, how long do I have to be away?’ Or ‘Is this worth being away?’”
