19 Celebrities with Face Tattoos


Face tattoos are becoming more and more popular among celebrities. Icons like Mike Tyson have long been known for their facial ink, but a recent resurgence has seen stars like Amber Rose, Justin Bieber and Amanda Bynes join this exclusive club in the past couple of years alone. It’s hard for even us to keep up.

We have gathered an updated list of 19 celebrities with face tattoos, from subtle to bold.

Mike Tyson

We can’t talk about face tattoos without talking about Mike Tyson. He has what is considered the most famous face tattoo of all time: a tribal design on the left side of his face, which he got way back in 2003 (before it was cool). The tattoo symbolizes strength and the warrior spirit. Check out our interview with Mike Tyson here. 

Post Malone

Post Malone is known for his extensive collectikon of face tattoos, from barbe wire across his forehead, to “Always Tired” under his eyes, to his daughter’s initials and more. In 2020, he told GQ why he covered his face in designs, saying, “I’m a ugly-ass motherf—–. It does maybe come from a place of insecurity, to where I don’t like how I look, so I’m going to put something cool on there so I can look at myself and say, ‘You look cool, kid,’ and have a modicum of self-confidence, when it comes to my appearance.” View our 2018 cover feature with Posty here.

Amanda Bynes has one single face tattoo: a heart on her cheek. It’s relatively small and simple, but a noticeable feature on her face (and doesn’t have the cleanest lines). Luckily, the the 2000s icon revealed that she is planning on getting rid of the tattoo.
