Usually seen on a clock face, Roman numerals are a classy, upscale way of incorporating numbers into your tattoos. They can also add a bit of mystery and flair to otherwise humdrum numbers.
If you want to remember a particular age or date, but want to do it in a unique way that means something special, Roman numerals are a great choice.
Though most people know the first 12 numerals due to seeing them on a clock, the numbers beyond 12 are often like a foreign language, which means you can use them and enjoy them privately while having them look fancier than typical numbers.
Roman numerals on a clock make for a fantastic tattoo ideas too. There’s something slightly old-fashioned and timeless about a clock with these types of numbers on it, and nothing celebrates the passage of time like a vintage clock from another era.
For a clever spin, you can even set the clock hands to a time that has significant meaning to you, like the time a child was born. Clocks are not small things, but this circular piece would look right at home on an upper arm or thigh.
Don’t forget that Roman numerals are also used to indicate lineage, so if you have a person in your life who is a Junior or So-and-So III, you can easily celebrate them in a subtle way by getting their numeral tattooed on your body. This may be an attractive option if you are not into name tattoos.
A vintage classic, Roman numerals can be a super beautiful symbol that hearkens back to a different time and place. Having a tattoo featuring these numeral designs will be as transporting as they will be attractive.
