Frequently Asked Questions

Roman numerals use seven letters: I (1), V (5), X (10), L (50), C (100), D (500), and M (1000). Numbers are formed by combining these letters. When a smaller numeral appears before a larger one, it's subtracted (IV = 4). When it appears after, it's added (VI = 6).

The most popular format uses dots (â€ĸ) as separators, like III â€ĸ XIV â€ĸ MCMXCII for March 14, 1992. This creates visual balance and is easy to read. The MM â€ĸ DD â€ĸ YYYY format is most common in the US, while DD â€ĸ MM â€ĸ YYYY is preferred in Europe.

No, the Roman numeral system doesn't have a symbol for zero. If your date includes a zero (like the month 01), it would simply be represented as I. Some modern adaptations use 'N' (from Latin 'nulla') but this isn't traditional.

Popular choices include: birth dates, wedding anniversaries, graduation years, memorial dates for loved ones, lucky numbers, sports jersey numbers, or significant years. Couples often get matching date tattoos for their anniversary.

Popular placements include: the inner wrist (visible and classic), collarbone (following the bone line), inner forearm (good for longer dates), ribcage (intimate and hidden), spine (vertical elegance), and behind the ear (subtle and delicate).

Numbers up to 3,999 use standard symbols. For 4,000 and above, a line (vinculum) is placed over the numeral to multiply by 1,000. For example, VĖ… = 5,000 and XĖ… = 10,000. However, most tattoo dates fall well within the standard range.

🏛ī¸ Disclaimer: Always verify your Roman numeral conversion before getting a tattoo. Show both the original date and the Roman numeral to your tattoo artist for confirmation.
