Millions of Instagram followers, undeniably unique features, and an insane résumé of campaigns and fashion shows aren't the only things today's class of top models have in common. Besides incredible clothes, the majority of them (like Hailey Bieber [1]) are wearing some of the internet's coolest tattoos. Included in that crowd is a true industry legacy: Kaia Gerber [2].
The daughter of iconic model Cindy Crawford [3], Gerber first got inked in October 2018. Since then, the 18-year-old has added a handful of other pieces to her collection, often hitting up the most famous artists with her brother, Presley Gerber [4]. Similar to many of her industry and celebrity peers [5], she seems to favour tiny, fine-line tattoos [6], often done by the highly in-demand artist JonBoy [7].
Ready to peep her growing collection of ink? Just keep scrolling. Ahead, we've created a comprehensive guide to Kaia Gerber's 10-plus tattoos.
Kaia Gerber's "Jordan" Tattoo on Her Left Inner Bicep
For Gerber's first foray into tattoos, she got "Jordan" inked on her left bicep. Done in a stunning script font in October 2018, it's the model's middle name.
Kaia Gerber's "I Know" Tattoo on Her Left Outer Wrist
What exactly this tattoo refers to, we'll never know, but Gerber does. The small outer-wrist design was inked by JonBoy in November 2018 and reads "I Know" in all caps. A single red line goes through the entire phrase.
Kaia Gerber's Picasso Tattoo on Her Left Arm
Arm tattoos are undeniably popular, and for good reason. They're equally easy to show off and cover up — especially when placed on the inside of your arm. This tattoo (another JonBoy piece) sits just above Gerber's left elbow and is a re-creation of a Picasso drawing.
Kaia Gerber's Anatomical Heart Tattoo on Her Right Forearm
A more detailed and unique take on a classic heart symbol, Gerber chose to get a little more technical for this right-forearm ink. The work of JonBoy in September 2019, this tattoo features an anatomical heart in red ink. While most of Gerber's pieces are in black, based on this and her "I Know" tattoo, she seems to favour red, too.
Kaia Gerber's Angel Tattoo on Her Ribs
While most of Gerber's tattoos are on her arms, the model switched things up for this angel tattoo on her right ribcage. Designed by JonBoy, it's one of her more recent additions and perfectly placed to pair with a bikini.
Kaia Gerber's Interlocking-Arms Tattoo on Her Right Shoulder and Floral Tattoo on Her Left Wrist
To kick off 2020, Gerber debuted two new pieces courtesy of popular artist Evan Tattoo [8]. The first is yet another unique take on a heart tattoo, featuring what looks like a woman wrapping her arms around her torso. With a few creative drawing decisions, the design — placed on her right shoulder — ends up looking like a heart. Flip to slide three of this Instagram post, and you'll see the second piece Gerber chose: a dainty floral design on the inside of her left wrist.
A Collection of Kaia Gerber's Tiny Tattoos
On Feb. 18, 2020, Gerber posted this topless (yet covered) mirror selfie, which showcased several pieces in her tiny-tattoo collection. Look closely on the model's elbow, and you'll see the number 23; zoom into her shoulder, and there's another piece that looks like a written phrase.
When she's walked the runway and on Instagram Stories, fans have also spotted a few more tattoos that have yet to debut on her feed. These include a tiny design that reads "Strawberry Fields," a rocket ship, and "1999."
