A Mongols bikie has been convicted of displaying a club tattoo on his forehead despite vehemently arguing that a make-up malfunction was to blame and not him.

Brendan Luke Sacca, 40, was at a bar in Northbridge, Perth, with a fellow club member in May last year when gang crime officers arrested and charged him for displaying the 'Mongols Nation' tattoo located on his forehead.

At his trial in Perth Magistrates Court on Monday, Sacca said he had covered the tattoo with make-up but it must have worn away and he was unaware the bikie gang insignia was visible.

Senior Constable Lorne Buchan from the gang crime squad testified he was called to the venue around 10.40pm and when he arrived the tattoo could be seen 'clearly' on the front of his head.

In body-worn footage played to the court, the officer is seen questioning Sacca as to the Mongols tattoo to which he responds, 'I did have make-up on, it must've come off.'
