At the New York premiere of How to Rob a Bank, Davidson discussed his tattoo removal experience with E! News. He described the process as “brutal” and revealed that he had been wearing sweaters for about six months.
Davidson began removing his tattoos in 2020 and is now nearly tattoo-free. However, he joked that the tattoos could return, saying, “They might come back.”
During his appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2025, he said he was “trying to clean-slate it” and that his ink was “almost gone.”
The actor once had around 200 tattoos covering his arms and chest. He has since removed most of them but plans to keep two or three.
After welcoming his daughter Scottie with ex Elsie Hewitt, whom he is co-parenting with, Davidson got her name tattooed vertically near his temple.
During CinemaCon in Las Vegas in April, Davidson revealed the tattoo of his daughter’s name near his temple, according to Page Six.
Davidson previously described the removal process as “worse” than getting tattooed. He explained, “I’ve been burning them off.” He also detailed the recovery process, saying, “They burn off a layer of your skin, then it has to heal for six to eight weeks. You can’t get in the sunlight. And then you’ve got to do it like 12 more times.”
Davidson also advised people to think carefully before getting tattoos, recalling that he was unhappy when he got much of his ink. He previously revealed that his chest tattoos created challenges for his acting career. Removing them has been a lengthy and expensive process.
