The tattoo could mean several things, but most commonly it is used by some modern Pagans to demonstrate their devotion to the Goddess. This practice is most common in Wicca, but other Pagans may do it as well. In Wicca, several denominations use certain tattoos to designate priestesses and priests. The crescent moon forehead tattoo is used in the tradition of Devotional Wicca for that purpose. In most cases, the tattoo was inspired my Marion Zimmer Bradley's "The Mists of Avalon", both the movie and the book, though I know of several Wiccans who adopted the practice before the book was written.
