Key Points
Pete Davidson has been spotted with a tattoo of his baby daughter’s name.
Photos from this month’s CinemaCon show “Scottie” near his ear.
The SNL alum has undergone the painful and expensive process of having his hundreds of tattoos removed since 2021.
Pete Davidson has mostly had less and less ink each time he’s been photographed lately.
The former Saturday Night Live star had a new tattoo, though, in photos from this month’s CinemaCon 2026 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. While Davidson’s skin was mostly free of ink, he sported the name of his daughter, Scottie, written close to his ear.
Entertainment Weekly has reached out to reps for Davidson.
The star of Dumb Money and the upcoming How to Rob a Bank said in 2021 that he would be removing his tattoos over the next several years. He was 27 then, and he expected they would “all be gone” by the time he was 30. He’s estimated that he’s already spent $200,000 on the process.

But it’s taken more time — and been more painful — than he had anticipated.
He’s acknowledged that it’s “pretty horrible” to undergo the removal procedure, which require six weeks of healing before the next session.
“It’s like putting your arm on a grill and burning off a layer, and then you gotta do maintenance and let it heal properly,” Davidson told Variety in April 2025. “And it’s pretty tough. It sucks, I’m not gonna lie.”
He hadn’t planned to get rid of all his ink anyway — at least planning to keep a likeness of Hillary Clinton on his right leg — but most of it.
But he’d said it was something he needed to do for his sobriety.
The new tattoo has special meaning, however. Davidson and girlfriend Elsie Hewitt welcomed his first child, a daughter they named Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, on Dec. 12.

Even before the little one’s arrival, Davidson had said he was excited about his new role, especially because he lost his own father, a New York City firefighter killed as a first responder to the Sept. 11 attacks, when he was 7.
He was even more grateful after the birth.
“Dad life is f—ing awesome,” he told PEOPLE in March. “It is exhausting and rewarding and cute. And I’m very lucky because Elsie is a fantastic mom, and I can’t stress enough how lucky I am.”
