Pete Davidson’s Bicep Tattoo Reveal After Red Carpet with Elsie Hewitt
Casual question: what’s more revealing — a freshly inked arm or a hand-holding moment under paparazzi flashes? The day after Pete Davidson and Elsie Hewitt turned heads on the red carpet at Netflix’s Reptile premiere, the 30-year-old comedian slipped into his Instagram Stories to flaunt the artwork that’s still etched on his biceps. In a series of shirtless mirror selfies uploaded May 12, Pete offered fans an unfiltered peek at a handful of surviving tattoos: a neon flamingo, a cartoon skeleton key, a tiny eyeball and a few faded script lines that survived his recent ink “edit.” His choice to spotlight these particular designs comes just weeks after reports confirmed he quietly covered up several ex-inspired tats—among them Ariana Grande’s signature cloud heart and a ghostly nod to Kate Beckinsale—signaling a new chapter (People Magazine, May 2024).
On the carpet, Pete cut a sharp figure in a tailored black suit by Saint Laurent, while Elsie opted for an edgy leather jumpsuit that drew equally swooning headlines—as fans noted their instant chemistry and playful poses. Photographers captured them holding hands and sharing laughs outside the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood, California, marking the couple’s first official outing (Page Six, May 2024). Eyewitnesses told sources they seemed totally at ease in each other’s company—so much so that Pete’s next-day reveal of his biceps felt like a subtle wink to anyone paying attention to the details.
His Instagram Story sequence showed Pete twisting his arm slightly toward the bathroom mirror, emphasizing a pastel-shaded flamingo perched on his inner right bicep. Below it sits a tiny, cartoonish skeleton key that some fans are already decoding online. A smudged snippet of cursive text on the outer muscle remains half-legible, prompting speculation about the next pieces he might choose to keep. The comedian didn’t add a caption, letting the visuals speak for themselves, but his decision to broadcast these last few emblems of self-expression underscores a larger trend: celebrity tattoo makeovers as public narratives.
Whether you’re here for the relationship gossip or the ink inspiration, Pete’s latest move is more than a mirror selfie—it’s a low-key declaration of personal evolution. He’s shedding the past, one design at a time, and letting fans witness the process. If this tattoo countdown is a new series, consider us tuned in. Anyway, that’s the gist. Do with it what you will.
