Presley Gerber Claps Back At Critics Of His New Face Tattoo: 'Come Say It To My Face'

Last week, social media users were faced with a sight many found to be upsetting: Presley Gerber marked his perfectly symmetrical mug with a very intense tattoo of the word: “Misunderstood.”

The 20-year-old model and son of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber got inked up by celebrity tattoo artist Jonathan “JonBoy” Valena, who wrote “Sorry mom” on his own Instagram page while unveiling his latest work of body art (below).

Presley was seemingly pleased with the new marking, writing “Thanks homie” in the caption of a video of JonBoy working on the design.

Naturally, fans took the news poorly. Countless spectators wailed at the social media gods, with some wondering why Presley would make a mockery of his so-called “canvas” and others comparing him to Jared Leto’s Suicide Squad Joker.

Another user inquired:

“Are you really that misunderstood? Having all the money at your disposal is never a good thing in life. You must be so bored.”

Those questions were answered a day later when Presley addressed his critics in an Instagram Live video. When asked what the meaning of the “Misunderstood” tattoo is, Gerber explained:

“I don’t feel very understood I guess… It says misunderstood, because that’s how I felt my entire life.”

Deep!

He also insisted to fans that he didn’t think his new tat would ruin his face, noting:

“If I thought this was going to ruin my face or I didn’t want this, I wouldn’t have done it. I think that’s a pretty obvious thing.”

What’s not so obvious, however, is what Presley’s parents think about his new face tattoo.

Luckily, the model’s girlfriend spilled the tea about that during the IG Live, telling fans:

“His parents love it, by the way.”

Presley really loves it, too — so much that he personally invited his critics to come speak to him about it face to face. (Yes, really.) He added:

“I just wanted to come on here and be like, if anyone has s**t to say to me about this or anything else and my family or how I grew up or anything. I will give you my address, I promise, and you can come say it to my face.”

Uhhh… that’ll show ‘em?

But you don’t have to actually show up to Gerber’s house to understand what he’d say to the haters. As negative comments and questions came marching in, he said:
