Pete Davidson Unveils Bare Arms in Tattoo Removal Transformation

Live from Las Vegas, it’s Pete Davidson with a new look. 

The Saturday Night Live alum showed off the progress of his yearslong tattoo removal journey with shockingly bare arms at CinemaCon 2026.

For the April 15 appearance, the 32-year-old stepped out in a red T-shirt, gray sweatpants and white Crocs. To accessorize, Pete paired his comfy look with a chain, sunglasses and a baseball cap. 

But it was what Pete didn’t wear that turned heads. After all, the comedian’s arms—which were previously covered in ink—were practically empty save for faded outlines of his since-removed tattoos.

Indeed, Pete has lasered off much of the 200 individual designs once inked on his body. However, he did decide to keep several sentimental pieces, including one dedicated to his mom Amy Waters Davidson.

“I got all these tattoos, so my mom was like, ‘How come you’ve never gotten a “Mom” tattoo?’” Pete told Entertainment Tonight in an interview published last October. “Now I have a tattoo that just says ‘MOMTATTOO.’ That one has to stay.”
