Pete Davidson's Bold Move: New Tattoo Emerges During Painful Removal Process New

Pete Davidson's Bold Move: New Tattoo Emerges During Painful Removal Process

Pete Davidson recently showcased a new tattoo honoring his daughter during an appearance at CinemaCon 2026 in Las Vegas. This comes after investing significant time and money into removing many of his previous tattoos. New Tattoo for Daughter The former "Saturday Night Live" star was seen with his four-month-old daughter's name tattooed near his ear. Davidson, 32, welcomed Scottie with girlfriend Elsie Hewitt in December 2025. He showed off this meaningful ink as he promoted his upcoming film "How to Rob a Bank." Tattoo Removal Journey Davidson has been undergoing tattoo removal since 2021, spending reportedly over $200,000 on the process. He had previously shared plans to keep only a few tattoos due to the lengthy and painful removal procedures. The comedian described the removal as more painful than getting the tattoos themselves, detailing a process that involves burning off layers of skin. Reflections on Past Tattoos Davidson's earlier tattoos included tributes to ex-girlfriends like Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande, as well as a Hillary Clinton portrait he intends to keep. Reflecting on his past, he mentioned that the old tattoos reminded him of a difficult period in his life. He humorously advised against impulsive tattoo decisions, suggesting people think carefully before getting something permanent like a "Game of Thrones" tattoo. Despite past regrets, Davidson remains open to adding meaningful new ink, focusing on personal and positive expressions through body art.

Parrot Missing Half His Beak Unexpectedly Becomes Leader of the Flock New

Parrot Missing Half His Beak Unexpectedly Becomes Leader of the Flock

Bruce the kea parrot, missing his entire upper beak, has become the dominant bird in his group at Willowbank Wildlife Reserve, New Zealand. This surprising development is detailed in a study published on April 20 in Current Biology. A Unique Fighting Technique Kea parrots are known for their mischievous behavior. Despite Bruce's disability, he adapted by developing a unique "jousting" style to assert dominance over other birds, catching them off guard with his innovative approach. He uses his exposed lower beak in thrusts combined with body momentum to win fights against his peers. This method is unlike anything seen before among kea parrots. The Advantages of Being Alpha Bruce's alpha status brought him several benefits, including first access to food and exclusive grooming attention from other birds. He maintained these privileges despite efforts to distribute resources evenly. The study noted that his position likely contributed to lower stress hormone levels compared to other birds, indicating a secure social standing. The Study's Broader Implications This case challenges existing theories on animal dominance typically based on size or physical capability. Unlike previous examples requiring alliances, Bruce achieved and maintained his status through personal innovation alone. Christina Riehl from Princeton highlights Bruce as an example of using behavioral adaptability to overcome physical limitations, though she questions if he might be even more effective with an intact beak. The Uncertain Cause of Bruce’s Condition The origin of Bruce's beak loss remains unknown. Discovered in Arthur's Pass in 2013 and later taken to Willowbank Wildlife Reserve, his story raises questions about the benefits of prosthetic interventions for disabled animals. The report suggests that Bruce's condition might have spurred the creative behaviors that led to his rise as an alpha bird.
