Unlike previous tattoo defenses on Instagram Live, Presley shared his latest mini rant as text to his Insta Stories.
“Most and many people can get a facelift, change sex, lip injections, etc. and it’s offensive to say anything these days, but I have a little face tattoo and now people to love hate me .. Hmmmm? [sic]’ he wrote.

He also appeared to confuse gender reconfirmation surgery with purely cosmetic procedures, including “facelifts” and “lip injections”.
