Pete Davidson debuts new face tattoo dedicated to daughter Scottie

Never say never.

Pete Davidson may have spent tons of time and money to remove his vast tattoo collection (including some “humiliating” designs), but he’s not opposed to adding some meaningful ink.

The “Saturday Night Live” alum was photographed at CinemaCon 2026 in Las Vegas last week, sporting his four-month-old daughter’s name tattooed on the side of his ear.

He appeared in good spirits as he spoke on stage to promote his forthcoming action-comedy “How to Rob a Bank,” showing off mostly bare arms.

Davidson, 32, welcomed Scottie with his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, 30, in December 2025 after Page Six exclusively revealed they were dating that March.

At the time, an insider told us that the model was “very different” from his past relationships.

The comedian, who started the tattoo removal process in 2021 — and has reportedly spent more than $200,000 — honored his daughter with new ink after he shared he wanted to avoid spending “three hours” covering up his ink in the makeup chair.

Davidson’s old ink had special tributes to his now ex-girlfriends, including Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande — and he revealed that he won’t be removing a portrait of Hillary Clinton he inked after she lost the 2016 election.

He gave an update on the 200 tattoos he was removing in January 2025.

At the time, Davidson shared on Jimmy Fallon’s “Tonight Show” that he was “trying to clean-slate it” and leave “maybe, like, two or three” tattoos.

“I’ve been burning them off,” he said, describing the pain as “worse” than when he got the tattoos.

“They burn off a layer of your skin, then it has to heal for six to eight weeks,” the “King of Staten Island” star said.

“You can’t get in the sunlight. And then you’ve got to do it, like, 12 more times,” Davison added.

Additionally, he jokingly told the crowd to “really think about that ‘Game of Thrones’ tattoo you’re thinking of getting.”

He also revealed that it’s going to take more than 10 years to completely finish the process

“I used to be a drug addict and I was a sad person, and I felt ugly and that I needed to be covered up,” the “Bupkis” actor shared.

“And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with tattoos, but mine, when I look at them, I remember a sad person that was very unsure.”
