Celebrities, just like normal folks, are known to get tattoos. While a celebrity sporting new ink isn’t exactly newsworthy in this day and age, some brave souls are going a step further. I’m talking, of course, about the subtle face tattoos seen on celebs like Cardi B, Halsey, and Justin Bieber.

When it comes to celebrity face tattoos, there are a lot of different styles — if you’ve seen a Soundcloud rapper, you know at least one of the vibes. Personally, I prefer subtle face tattoos over huge ones. Ahead, I’ve rounded up celebs who’ve kept their facial ink dainty AF.

Kehlani is a tattoo aficionado; she has countless different pieces of art all over her body. One of my favorites is the ultra dainty paper plane flying on her cheek. It’s become her calling card in recent years, and what an adorable one it is.

The face tattoos don’t stop with paper planes for Kehlani. Just above her left brow, the singer has “love” inked in red. I really love the placement of this one because it can be easily covered with bangs or makeup.

I’d be remiss to leave Dominic Fike’s subtle face tattoos out of this roundup. One of the Euphoria actor’s subtle face tattoos even has a sweet meaning behind it. Despite giving team iPhone vibes, the apple on his cheek is actually a nod to his sister, Apple.

While he has a ton of tattoos, the one that stands out the least might be Anwar Hadid’s face tattoo. Under his left eye, the model has three dots inked into his skin.
