Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande’s Matching Tattoos
Ariana and Pete were reportedly first spotted getting cozy on May 12th, 2018, at a Saturday Night Live (SNL) after-party. On May 21st, 2018, a source told People magazine that Ari and Pete were casually dating, but by June 9th, Pete and Ariana announced to their family and friends that they were engaged.
A source told Entertainment Tonight that the lightning-speed love affair was likely Pete’s doing. The source also said, “In relationships, he (Pete) is known to be the caring one and the full steam ahead guy. The combination of a girl who is yearning to be loved and mixing it with a guy like Pete creates this intense relationship that is moving a million miles a minute.”
At least one part of Ariana and Pete’s relationship is somewhat permanent – they got couples’ tattoos.
Cloud Emoji Tattoo
Ariana and Pete had matching cloud emoji tattoos on their fingers. On May 12th, 2018, Ariana was photographed at an SNL after-party with the same cloud-shaped phone case as Pete. Two days later, Ariana posted that same cloud in emoji form, on an Instagram photo. Then on May 17th, Pete shows off a freshly-inked cloud tattoo on one of his knuckles. The next day Bossip reports that the two are seeing each other and liking each other’s posts on Instagram much more often. At the Billboard Music Awards on May 20th, eagle-eyed fans spotted a matching cloud tattoo on Ariana’s finger too.
“REBORN”
In June 2018, Pete and Ariana celebrated their engagement by getting the word “REBORN” tattooed on their hands. Pete showed off his “REBORN” tattoo and Ariana’s massive engagement ring on an Instagram post, along with the caption “u know what you’d dream it be like? it’s better than that.”
“H2GKMO”
After their official engagement, Pete and Ariana got this matching tattoo “H2GKMO” on their hands. “H2GKMO” actually stands for “honest to God, knock me out,” which is Ariana’s favorite catchphrase that she used on Twitter many times, and apparently, she says it like three hundred times a day.
“Mille Tenderness”
Pete got the phrase “Mille tenderness” tattooed on the back of his neck in the same spot where Ariana got hers, but she got it in 2014. It’s a quote from Audrey Hepburn’s famous movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s. In French, it means “Thousand tenderness.”
“8418”
Ariana got this matching tattoo on her ankle to honor Pete’s late father. It was the badge number of Pete’s dad Scott Davidson. He was a firefighter who died on the job during the terrorist attack on 9/11. Pete also shares the same tattoo on his left forearm, among others, to honor his father.

New York tattoo artist Mira Mariah did the tattoo.

Fans believe that it was Pete’s handwriting.

“MYRON”
Ariana had Pete’s late father Scott Davidson’s firefighter badge number “8148” tattooed on her foot, who died in 9/11. Later she covered it with “MYRON,” her ex Mac Miller’s dog who she adopted after his death.
“always”
Instead of covering up the “always” tattoo on her rib, she got the New York tattoo artist Mira Maria to do her trademark leaves over it. She noted to fans that it’s “not a cover-up just evolvin’.”
Olive Branch
After the split up with Pete, Ariana shared a video on her Instagram story of herself and her friends clinking their drinks together. Fans noticed that her “REBORN” tattoo had been covered up by a beautiful olive branch tattoo. Her go-to tattoo artist Mira Mariah did the tattoo. Olive branch is also a symbol of peace and victory.
