All the tattoos Pete Davidson got but covered up including tributes to ex Ariana Grande before he dated Kim Kardashian

KIM Kardashian shocked fans this week by revealing that not only does her boyfriend Pete Davidson have three tattooed tributes to her, but one of them is actually her name branded on his chest.

Comedian Pete is no stranger to the tattoo parlor and has a huge selection of body art.

In fact, he has a history of getting impulsive tattoos as a token of affection for his girlfriends.

At one point the 28-year-old had over 100 parts on his body but he is now in the process of having many of them removed.

Kim filled out fans when she appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, declaring, “He’s in the process of getting rid of his arm and neck tattoos.”

As well as removing tattoos, Pete has had many previous jobs covered up, meaning they have been superseded by new designs.

Let’s take a look at Pete’s wild story written in ink.

NEEDLES AND KIM’S

On Wednesday, Kim revealed that her new boyfriend already has a few tattooed tributes to her.

The two started dating in October 2021, and she made their relationship official on Instagram last week.

Speaking to Ellen, Kim revealed that Pete already has three dedications on his body to her.

One Piece isn’t inkwork, it’s branding on his chest.

Eagle-eyed fans had previously noted that Pete now has the Kim name above his right nipple after a topless pic he allegedly sent to Kanye West was leaked.

But fans didn’t know it was actually branding until Kim Ellen explained, “So he’s like, ‘I don’t want to get rid of it or cover it up, and I just wanted it, it’s like a scar on me.'”

Kim laughed as she added, “It’s so cute guys.”

The mother-of-four also revealed that Pete has one on his collarbone that reads, “My girl is a lawyer.”

She mentioned there is a third tattoo, but didn’t explain what it is.

She simply said, “He’s got some tattoos. Some sweet ones, you know, he got.”

THANK YOU, CONTINUE

Ariana Grande and Pete, who are no strangers to even a little bit of body ink, had a short-lived relationship and engagement in 2018.

In just five months of dating, Pete got at least five tattooed tributes to his pop star girlfriend.

In fact, Jon Mesa, Pete’s favorite tattoo artist, told Page Six that he told him, “Hey dude, let’s just stop doing the girlfriend’s tattoos until after [Grande’s] Your wife.”

He added: “Because relationships come and go and Pete is a really young man. I think it went in one ear and out the other.”

Most famously, the young couple got matching neck tattoos that read “Mille tendresse.”

The phrase is French for “a thousand caresses” and refers to a romantic phrase used by Audrey Hepburn in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

Since then, Pete has covered his with the word “cursed” in a horror font in all caps.

SNL star Pete also got the bunny artwork from Ariana’s album Dangerous Woman tattooed behind his ear.

However, after their split, he covered it up with a simple black heart.

Her mille tendresse pieces weren’t the only matching tattoos the former couple got.

They also both have their famous slogan “H2GKMO” tattooed on their fingers.

It stands for: “Honest to God, knock me out”.

Along with a simple “Grande” on his ribs, Pete had her initials, AG, inked on his thumb, and both matched with the word “reborn” tattooed on her thumb.

YOU MUST BE CAZZIE

But singing superstar Ariana wasn’t Pete’s first high-profile relationship, either.

Between 2016 and 2018, he dated actress Cazzie David, daughter of comedian and Seinfeld co-creator Larry David.

Pete paid tribute to her with numerous tattoos, including her name in italics on his ring finger, which he has since covered over in black ink.

On his arm, Pete later replaced a tattoo he got for her with a moody Black Forest design.

After the breakup, he also covered up his tattoo of her favorite emoji with Ariana’s favorite emoji, a cloud.

He made the change after dumping his actress girlfriend via text message and 24 hours later embarking on a new relationship with the pop star.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK

Pete is a proud New Yorker, and one of his tattoos is even closer to home than the rest.

Pete has the number 8418 on his arm.

8418 is the FDNY identification number of his late father, who died during the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Ariana matched Pete’s touching tribute by getting the numbers on her foot.

Pete has a chest piece of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge, which connects Brooklyn to his home Staten Island.

He also pays tribute to his home district with the Wu Tang Clan logo next to the bridge.

Hip-hop legends, the Wu-Tang Clan, are known to hail from Staten Island.

CLEAN SLATE

However, Pete is in the process of getting most of his tattoos removed.

He even appeared at a moving clinic for a bizarre Smartwater commercial last year.

In the commercial, he referenced his tattoos when he said, “I’ve made a lot of questionable decisions, and a few of them need to be removed.”

Erasing his inks may also be a step to help his career, as film critic Mike McGranahan says it “takes 3-4 hours in the makeup chair to cover” for screen roles.

Pete is currently gearing up to play a fictionalized version of himself in a new TV comedy show currently titled Bupkis.
