Presley Gerber I will never forget the moment I got my first tattoo, all thanks to what momma did Cindy Crawford must talk about in time!
During the look at Studio 22 Podcast there, the 23-year-old model opened up about several topics, including how he got inked for the first time at the age of 15. What?! Speaking to the podcast host about his first tattoo, Presley touched on his love for the art, saying:
“There was a time in my life when I was, you know I could still see myself becoming a tattoo artist one day. I love making art, I’ve always loved drawing, painting and so on. Just the fact that you can transfer art to the skin is a concept wild, so I was interested from a young age.
When one of the podcast hosts mentioned something about “thank you” in the episode, Presley continued to say “that’s my first tattoo.” He explains:
“In 15 years, I had a very interesting experience and I actually went and got my first tattoo. I was in Canada, people there didn’t check my ID, bing bong came home with a tattoo.”

The podcast host then called out:
“I think you can go home with ‘Thank you’ on your arm and it’s still hard for your parents to get mad.”
Whelp, Presley noted “it was a night to remember” in the Gerber-Crawford household “for sure!” Brother of Kaia Gerber considering that the 57-year-old supermodel and her father Randy Gerber suspect he’s hiding something when he comes home after hanging out with friends wearing a big hoodie – even though it’s warm outside:
“It was in Canada, it was like 100 degrees outside and I came home and said to my mom and dad: ‘Hey, my friend and I are going to buy gifts from the gift shop’ for our friends at the time. A rain storm happened, and our trip was eight , a nine-hour trip home. I didn’t come back until night, where it was still warm.
He continued:
“It’s probably 90 degrees and I’m wearing shorts and a big hoodie. I’m eating dinner with them [my parents] – everything is a little off, but I ate dinner with them, I said, we go and watch a movie together. In the middle of the movie, [they press] rest, [and say] ‘Hey Pres, take off your hoodie.’ And I was like, ‘You knew this whole time didn’t you!’”
Lol! So how did Cindy react? Well, he wasn’t too fussed about the ink. However, what he said still shook him at the time:
“Now, my mom looked at me and she wasn’t really mad. She just said, ‘Show me your dad,’ and that was the scariest thing I’ve ever heard come out of her mouth. I literally teleported through the wall [to my room]. But it was worth it for me. Something really tragic happened and something. Now of course I’ve had a few [tattoos] done that I could have done without but that’s how it started with some reminders that I wanted.
One of the tattoos he regrets is the word “misunderstanding” on his face. And despite his love for ink, Presley said he stopped getting ink between the ages of 20 and 21 since he was a teenager:
“I had a face tattoo, and then it was removed. It was a really big ending, the tattoo was visible. I ran out of space very quickly.
Wonder what Cindy has said about the previously removed tatt! Elsewhere in the interview, Presley also touched on his struggles with mental health, saying:
“After struggling with mental health, depression and a few other related things, I think that if I help one or a hundred people out of the place I’m in at one time, I just need to do it. I’ve done a lot of deep diving, a lot of holidays and a lot of time to examine myself and learn about myself with the therapist.
In the future, he indicated that he would like to create a mental health initiative – perhaps creating a clothing brand around the topic to raise awareness. Presley added:
“It’s a big part of my life. It’s a 24/7 job, and there’s a lot of it. It’s really what I want – helping people, whether you’re depressed, you’re struggling with things that have a negative effect on your body.
Nice to see people wanting to use the platform to raise awareness about important topics like mental health! You can ch-ch-check out the entire conversation with Presley (below):
