Shirtless Pete Davidson Shows Off Tattoo Removal Journey While Holding Infant Daughter

Pete Davidson is giving fans a peek at his tattoo removal journey while bonding with his newborn daughter, Scottie, in an Instagram photo shared by his girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt. The couple practiced skin-to-skin contact, a parenting method used to foster bonding and regulate a baby’s body temperature and breathing. Fans noticed Davidson’s tattoos fading after several removal sessions, a process he began in 2021.

Davidson described the tattoo removal as painful and time-consuming, explaining on the Tonight Show that each session involves burning a layer of skin, followed by a six- to eight-week healing period, repeated multiple times. He reflected on his tattoos as a reflection of past decisions and emphasized that the process is helping him move forward as an adult. Despite the cost and discomfort, he considers it worth it to have a “clean slate” and keep only a few tattoos.

Alongside the tattoo removal, Davidson is focused on personal growth and adjusting to fatherhood. He and Hewitt welcomed Scottie on December 12, naming her after his late father. Sources report the couple is “over the moon” and still learning the ins and outs of parenting. Davidson is described as ecstatic to be a father, smiling and emotional as he embraces this new chapter in his life.
