While appearing on stage at 2026 CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 15, the “Saturday Night Live” alum, Pete Davidson. could be seen rocking a “Scottie” tattoo next to his ear. His exposed arms, however, were for the most part cleared of his famous ink, consisting of over 200 tattoos. This was done with a heavy and step-by-step laser removal process, which ended up costing him over six figures. This has made it quite clear that his tattoo era would never entirely fade away.
Pete Davidson’s brand new tattoo is a tribute to his and Elsie Hewitt’s baby daughter Scottie
Pete Davidson just went the extra mile to add a deeply personal chapter to his ever-evolving ink story. While appearing at CinemaCon 2026, the comedian was spotted with a fresh tattoo following the removal process, which was quite shocking. However, this piece read “Scottie,” and it was inked right next to his ear. It was a quiet but deeply personal and meaningful tribute to his baby daughter with Elsie Hewitt.
What makes it land even harder is that contrast. Davidson, once covered in over 200 tattoos, has been steadily clearing much of that ink through an intense laser process. His arms, now mostly bare, feel like a quiet reset, a visible shift away from the chaos he used to carry. And yet, this new tattoo shows he isn’t erasing himself. He’s editing, not deleting and holding on to what matters, while still moving forward with a little more clarity and a lot more emotion.
Furthermore, the little piece’s placement felt deliberate. Subtle but yet super close to him. It was almost like something that was meant more for him than the world. This is a major shift from the chaotic patchwork that he once carried to something quieter and more permanent in meaning. For someone who has spent a lot of time rewriting his image, this feels like a grounded moment. This wasn’t just a headline-grabbing tattoo; it actually said something.
