The former Saturday Night Live star looks noticeably different today than he did when he kicked off his tattoo removal journey in 2020 – and he's not scared to open up about the "brutal" journey.

Admitting the public hasn't seen what ink moves he's been hiding up his sleeve the last seven months, he told E! News that he's "only been wearing sweaters ... so you don't know what's going on under there."

Although he's removed many of the tattoos that once filled his fully sleeved arms, Davidson revealed a shock twist may take place in the future. At the premiere of How to Rob a Bank, Davidson admitted to the outlet, "You never know, they might come back."

But those tattoo changes he's been undergoing for years might pay off in a dramatic new way.

As the rumor mill continues to run wild about who will be cast as the next James Bond, Davidson dropped one heck of a plot twist: "It's going to be me."

"I will be the first American James Bond," Davidson jokingly said at the premiere.

As for his tattoo journey, there's a chance any new ink he gets will be worlds different from the designs he chose in the past.

He previously admitted that his priorities have shifted since becoming a dad, as it made him "realize the stuff that I cared about so much [doesn't] actually matter."

Perhaps his next tattoo will be something dedicated to his 11-month-old daughter, whom he shares with his model ex, Elsie Hewitt. The pair got together in March 2025 but split in May 2026.
