“I was 17 years old and I got the Gemini symbol on my finger,” Elvis Presley’s granddaughter revealed, adding that she was “done” with new tattoos. – It’s a complicated relationship.

“I put rings on a lot — Like, this was on him all day,” she added, referring to the chunky gold ring on her finger. “It was at the Shamrock on Sunset. It was kind of a moment, but I don’t—I’m thinking about lasering them off.”

“I think it’s a longer process than you’d like,” Meyers, 50, chimed in, joking that she’d have to wait 10 years until tattoo removal technology was developed so she could use “a pill or maybe just, like, a lotion.”
