The world of show business and the tattoo industry has once again turned its attention to one of the most discussed ambassadors of body art – Pete Davidson. The former Saturday Night Live star, known for his passion for spontaneous and sometimes chaotic body art, has unveiled an unexpected image update. At a recent event, CinemaCon 2026, held on April 15th at the legendary Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, the 32-year-old actor presented the public with a new tattoo, located in the most prominent place – on his face. This move seems particularly ironic given his years-long and costly battle for clear skin.

Pete Davidson’s Clean Canvas: Comedian Spends $200,000 on Tattoo Removal
Pete Davidson, whose body has served as a living diary of his impulsive decisions and turbulent romances for many years, has definitively turned a page in his “inked” biography. At a recent performance in Las Vegas, the 32-year-old comedian showcased virtually clear skin on his arms, leaving behind dozens of designs that once covered his body in a dense layer. This transformation is the result of an arduous six-year process that required not only immense patience but also a significant financial investment – by the artist’s own admission, the total cost of the procedures reached $200,000.
Pete Davidson and Machine Gun Kelly: Blackwork as a Way to Rebuild Identity
January 30, 2026, marked a grand premiere in the streaming world: the debut episode of the video podcast “The Pete Davidson Show” was released on the Netflix platform. The first guest in the studio, located right in the famous comedian’s garage, was his closest friend – musician Machine Gun Kelly (Colson Baker). During a candid conversation, the 35-year-old MGK and 32-year-old Davidson discussed not only their long-standing “brotherhood,” which began in 2017 on the set of “Wild ‘N Out,” but also deep psychological transformations. The central theme of the discussion was Colson’s radical change in appearance – his monumental blackwork tattoo, completely covering his torso and arms, which the artist himself described as a necessary “torture” for mental rebirth.
