The King of Staten Island is rocking a new look.
Pete Davidson stepped out at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Wednesday with almost completely bare arms after spending $200,000 to remove his tattoos.
The stand-up comic â who sported a red T-shirt â previously had both of his arms covered with sleeves of ink.
Despite faded outlines of some past tattoos still showing, Davidson has made significant progress in removing his 200 plus tattoos.
The âBodies Bodies Bodiesâ actor has been hard at work removing his ink since 2020.
In 2021, during a âLate Night With Seth Meyersâ interview, Davidson broke down how his tattoos have impacted his acting career.
âFor some reason, people in movies, they donât have them that much,â he stated, noting it can take up to âthree hoursâ in a makeup chair to cover all of his ink.
Last month, the âSNLâ alum gave an update on how the process was unfolding.
At the time, Davidson told Page Six that he was almost finished removing the inkings from his arms and had started âworking on the torso.â
âItâs terrible,â he confessed about the process. âThey burn off your skin and then youâve got to do it 10 more times. I think if you can invest in any business, I think you should invest in the tattoo removal business.â
The comedian said in order to pass the time, âthey just put me to sleep which is kind of nice but if itâs just the arm, I try to listen to stuff or talk to the nurse.â
In January 2025, Davidson shared that only a couple tattoos would be staying while on âThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.â
âMaybe, like, two or three,â he said despite âtrying to clean-slate it.â
Davidson added that the process felt âworseâ than getting inked up to begin with.
While on the late night talk show, Davidson also addressed why he felt the need to get so many tattoos.
The âGuy Codeâ alum explained, âI was a sad boy. ⊠It was a weird time. I donât know.â
âEverybody was getting tattoos, like, five years ago. Remember that?â he mused.
Some of Davidsonâs ink has made headlines over the years, including portraits of Hillary Clinton and late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
The âWild âN Outâ star also had tributes to his then-girlfriends â Kim Kardashian, Cazzie David and Ariana Grande â inked on his body.
While itâs safe to say the tattoos for his former flames will go â Clinton stays.
âWhat was cute is when I got them removed, she hit me up and sheâs like, âYouâre not removing me, are you?ââ Davidson recalled during his appearance on âThe Breakfast Clubâ in August. âI was like, âOf course not, of course. Hillary stays.ââ
âShe loves it,â he gushed.
This past December, Davidson showed off the improvement on his arms and chest after his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, shared a photo of him holding their newborn daughter, Scottie.
The model captioned the sweet images that showed Davidson with an almost bare chest: âMY BEST FRIENDSđ©·đ©·đ©·.â
