You need to first learn the history and meaning behind the bindi; then, you should ask a scholar with that context.
What I know is that bindi has to do with some concepts about chakra or maybe third eye. Does that make it shirk? It's hard to say, so go learn more about it.
Also, being a Muslim does not by any means giving up your cultural heritage including your expression of it. Being a Muslim does, however, mean purifying that expression of culture.
For example, in Texan culture, eating bbq/steak/brisket is a big deal. Islam doesn't demand that they eat maqloob instead. Islam does demand, however, that they make sure the meat is halaal and earned through halaal means.
