Amber Rose and her partner Alexander “AE” Edwards opt for forehead tattoos as a tribute to their children

Both Amber Rose and Alexander "AE" Edwards have chosen to have forehead tattoos as a way to honor their kids. Amber Rose is a mother of two; one child with Wiz Khalifa and another with AE. Amber's forehead tattoos feature her sons' names, while AE's tattoos display the birth dates of both sons. AE's forehead tattoos include the dates 10.10.19 (the birth date of his son Slash Electric) and 2.21.13 (the birth date of Amber's first son with Wiz Khalifa). Some have raised questions about why AE chose to include 2.21.13 on his forehead, as Sebastian Taylor Thomaz is not his biological son.
