How Ariana Grande Has Covered Up Her Pete Davidson Tattoos
Ariana Grande has covered up yet another Pete Davidson-inspired tattoo—this time with a tribute to her late ex-boyfriend, Mac Miller.
Eagled-eyed fans caught the ink update in Grande’s behind-the-scenes featurette for her “Thank U, Next” music video. Early in the BTS footage, she’s rehearsing her bend-and-snap (for the Legally Blonde portion of the actual music video) when she jokes about how much she loves her tattoos. “Look at my ‘Myron,'” Grande says, in reference to her foot tattoo of the word “Myron.” “Look! How cool, right?”
This “Myron” tat is located on Grande’s left foot in exactly the same place where, just a few months ago, she had 8418: the firefighter badge number of Davidson’s father, who died in 9/11. “Myron,” for those who don’t know, is the name of Mac Miller’s dog. It appears, at least, that Grande has covered up “8418” with “Myron.”
Watch Grande talk about this change in the video, below. Start around the 2:30 mark.
And here’s a photo of the switcheroo up close:
This isn’t the first Davidson tattoo Grande has covered up. Below, a quick guide to all the ink Grande swapped out in light of her breakup with Davidson.
When filming NBC’s Wicked Halloween special, Grande covered the “Pete” tattoo on her left ring finger with a Band-Aid.
She replaced the “reborn” tattoo she got with Davidson with a feather.
Grande ultimately replaced that “Pete” tattoo with a black heart, which we see in the “Thank U, Next” video.
Davidson covered one of his Grande tattoos, Dangerous Woman-esque bunny ears, with a black heart, which led the Internet to think the two of them coordinated breakup ink. That’s probably just a coincidence, though. What a time!
