<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nPete Davidson has added new ink even as he continues the long and painful process of removing much of his old tattoo collection. The comedian and actor was photographed at CinemaCon 2026 in Las Vegas last week with what appeared to be a fresh tattoo of his daughter Scottie\u2019s name placed near his ear. The new tattoo drew attention because Davidson has spent years trying to erase many of his earlier designs, a process he has said is more painful than getting tattooed in the first place.<\/p>\n Page Six reported that Davidson showed off the new tattoo while appearing onstage at CinemaCon 2026 to promote his upcoming action-comedy \u2018How to Rob a Bank.\u2019 He appeared upbeat during the event and wore clothing that revealed his mostly bare arms, a noticeable change from the heavily tattooed look that once defined him. The outlet noted that the new ink honors his four-month-old daughter, Scottie, whom he welcomed with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt in December 2025. Page Six had previously reported in March 2025 that Davidson and Hewitt were dating, with one insider describing the model as \u201cvery different\u201d from his past relationships.<\/p>\n The new tattoo stands out because Davidson has openly discussed his attempt to clear away about 200 tattoos. He began the removal process in 2021 and has reportedly spent more than USD 200,000 on it. He has said one reason for removing the tattoos was to avoid spending \u201cthree hours\u201d covering them with makeup for screen work.During an appearance on Jimmy Fallon\u2019s \u2018Tonight Show\u2019 in January 2025, Davidson said he was \u201ctrying to clean-slate it\u201d and leave \u201cmaybe, like, two or three\u201d tattoos. He explained the removal process in blunt terms. \u201cI\u2019ve been burning them off,\u201d he said, adding that it feels \u201cworse\u201d than getting them in the first place.Davidson said, \u201cThey burn off a layer of your skin, then it has to heal for six to eight weeks. You can\u2019t get in the sunlight. And then you\u2019ve got to do it, like, 12 more times.\u201d He also joked that people should \u201creally think about that \u2018Game of Thrones\u2019 tattoo you\u2019re thinking of getting.\u201dReflecting on the change, Davidson said, \u201cI used to be a drug addict and I was a sad person, and I felt ugly and that I needed to be covered up. And I don\u2019t think there\u2019s anything wrong with tattoos, but mine, when I look at them, I remember a sad person that was very unsure.\u201d His latest tattoo shows that while much of his old ink is fading, some new pieces still carry personal meaning.<\/div>\nPete Davidson’s new tattoo at CinemaCon 2026<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n
