Pete Davidson’s tattoos appeared to have faded dramatically in a new shirtless photo of the comedian holding his newborn daughter.
Davidson’s girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, shared a photo of Davidson holding their daughter, Scottie, on Sunday. Davidson gently held the baby girl wrapped in a blanket, enjoying the skin-to-skin contact.
The “Saturday Night Live” alum has been vocal about undergoing the painful and long process of removing most of her tattoos, but new photos reveal that much of her previous ink has already faded.
“My best friend 🩷🩷🩷,” Hewitt captioned a sweet photo of her holding her newborn baby.
The model gave birth to baby Scottie on December 12 and shared the happy news on Instagram.
She also revealed that she named the baby girl Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson. It is named after Davidson’s father, Scott, a firefighter who died in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
“Best work ever. Filled with love, gratitude and disbelief,” she wrote. As for Davidson, he added, “Forever Wu-Tang.”
This will be the couple’s first child. They have been dating since the beginning of 2025.
In January, Davidson said during an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” that she planned to keep only two or three of her 200 tattoos.
“I’ve been burning them down,” he said. “Healing takes six to eight weeks as layers of the skin are burned off.”
“You can’t get sunlight,” he added. “And I have to do it about 12 more times.”
One of his future tattoos is the one Hillary Clinton got on her right foot after she lost the 2016 presidential election.
Davidson, 32, revealed that when Clinton started removing her tattoos in 2020, he made sure he was actually removing her tattoos.
“What was cute was when I asked her to take off her shoes, she hit me and said, ‘You’re not going to take mine off, are you?'” he recalled during an appearance on “The Breakfast Club.” “I thought, ‘Of course not, of course. Hillary will stay.'”
“She loves it,” he added.
Davidson candidly said the tattoo removal process was “terrible.”
“If anyone is actually thinking about getting a tattoo, I would encourage them to think about it for a few years before changing their minds,” he shared.
