No, that would be more likely a representation of Selene (Moon).
In Greek mythology, Nyx is the goddess of night and Zeus is the king of the gods. Zeus is generally considered more powerful and prominent among the Greek gods due to his role as the ruler of Mount Olympus and his control over the sky and thunder. However, Nyx is a primordial deity associated with darkness and plays a vital role in the cosmic order.
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.
