On Wednesday, Pete, 32, flaunted his tattoo-free arms in a short-sleeved shirt while speaking onstage at an event in Las Vegas.

The Saturday Night Live alum attended CinemaCon 2026 for Amazon MGM Studios at The Dolby Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace.

He wore a loosely fitted red shirt, fully exposing his arms, which bore multiple faded marks from tattoos lasered off.

Pete paired the look with grey sweatpants, white Crocs, a hat, and sunglasses.

The Pete Davidson Show star has nearly no tattoos on his body after undergoing a six-year process to have the ink removed.

“He just woke up one day and wanted them gone, and it’s been a years-long process,” a source told People in January 2025 about the actor’s decision.

Another source said his tattoo removal was a “fresh start” for The King of Staten Island star, who has been sober since September 2024.

Pete previously spoke about the $200,000 process during an appearance on the Today show.

“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 said while lifting his sleeve to reveal the faded tattoos on his forearm.

“It’s pretty gone,” the TV star added.

“I got sober, and I saw myself in the mirror, and I was like, ‘Nah. Who’s that?’ I was like, ‘I got to change it up a little bit,’” Pete also said about the painful journey, which he began in 2020.

A lot has changed in the Bupkis star’s life in recent years as he’s also now a father of a daughter named Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson.

Pete’s girlfriend, model Elsie Hewitt, 30, gave birth to their baby girl on December 12.

Her name is a sweet nod to Pete’s late father, Scott Davidson, a New York City firefighter who died on September 11, 2001.

An insider previously told The U.S. Sun that the couple was looking forward to starting a family together, and that Elsie envisioned sharing her life with Pete.

During an August appearance on The Breakfast Club, Pete admitted that he “felt bad” for Elsie, who has had to deal with her personal life being in the spotlight because of their relationship.

Before Elsie, Pete often made headlines for his string of high-profile romances.

He’s also faced scrutiny for his impulsive purchase of a massive Staten Island Ferry with his former SNL co-star, Colin Jost.

The duo has expressed regret over buying the ferry, which they’ve struggled to get up and running after facing numerous delays in their renovation plans.

In October, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed that the $280,000 vessel is currently sitting in a decrepit, abandoned state in a New York City harbor, four years after they made the extravagant purchase.
