Pete Davidson Shows Off Ink-Free Arms During Surprise SNL Cameo
Pete Davidson most recently made headlines for parting ways with a number of his tattoos.
And considering how the Saturday Night Live alum was once drenched in ink—no small amount of it paying homage to romantic relationships he was having when artistic inspiration struck—no doubt it was a literally painstaking process.
But such is the business of making a fresh start and, several years ago, Davidson announced his intent to get rid of his tattoos by the time he was 30, explaining that he was tired of spending several hours in the makeup chair to have them covered up for any role that didn't call for his signature look. Which, apparently, was most of his roles.
He did not, however, signal any plan to press pause on dating, though going by the ink-free arms he's been showing off lately, the era of the Bupkis star etching his heart on his sleeve is over.
Yet as he celebrates his 31st birthday Nov. 16, the particulars of Davidson's love life can't help but remain emblazoned on our brains.
"I'm in my 20s and I dated people," he said on an April 2023 episode of Jon Bernthal's Real Ones podcast. "And for some reason, that is very crazy and interesting to people. I don't think it's that interesting."
That's his opinion. Alas, he got engaged to Ariana Grande as his star was on the rise and, while they ultimately weren't meant to be, his magnetic ways have since become undeniable.

Davidson noted that he'd met most of his significant others through work, calling SNL "one of the five Hollywood epicenters" where you could meet anyone on any given day, "and that's just who I was working with and who I was around."
In honor of the king of humble island's birthday and his newly streamlined on-set makeup routine, here's a comprehensive look at Davidson's stacked dating history:
