Forehead tattoo ideas have gone from being an ink taboo to a rapidly growing niche in design and application.

Forehead tattoos have increased exponentially over the last 5-10 years, as collectors continue to increase visible body art concepts.

For many contemporary fans, forehead tattoos are a way of expressing body autonomy and the right to look how they wish, spurning previous generations’ aversion to showing off their tattoos on areas such as the forehead, face, hands, and neck.

Common forehead tattoo ideas can be linked to a variety of symbols and applications – from religion and the moon to barbed wire and mandala. Mostly they are etched in simple black ink variations.

The following collection of the top forehead tattoo ideas displays a range of different design choices that may encourage you to get a forehead design of your own.
