Pete Davidson Debuts Near-Clear Arms at CinemaCon After Years of Tattoo Removal

The near-blank look signals a deliberate reset linked to his recovery from drug use.

Overview

  • The comedian’s CinemaCon appearance in Las Vegas, Wednesday, April 15, showed his arms, hands, and neck now almost free of ink.
  • He began erasing an estimated 200 tattoos in 2020 and says the work has cost about $200,000 so far.
  • Davidson calls laser removal slow and painful, requiring many passes per tattoo with six to eight weeks of healing between sessions.
  • With his limbs largely cleared, he plans to focus next on his torso and back after starting work on his chest.
  • He says the overhaul supports his sobriety and has noted that covering his ink for roles could take up to three hours, which may ease as removal advances.
