Hello! I’ve found these tiny brown bugs in my bathroom. On the ceiling I’m the hall attached to the bathroom and ceiling in my bedrooms close to the bathroom. Primarily bathroom though. I’ve had an exterminator visit several times and they re-appear. They are about the size of a pen tip.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to tell what those are based on the photos alone. One small brown beetle that's commonly found indoors are drugstore beetles, which infest stored food products. You can try submitting additional photographs from different angles or submitting physical specimens to your local Extension office.
