Roman numeral dates tattoos
Things have changed a lot and more date tattoos. Because there was a moment, in which when one of them was with Roman numerals, it indicated a punishment. It seems that during the Roman Empire, they used these numbers as something totally negative. Luckily with the passage of time, all that belief passed. But the good taste for dates in Roman numerals did prevail. It is a way of being able to mark a year or a month but in a less direct way than with cardinal numbers. Now it is common to see these dates marked on the skin and in various places. It is said that it is a work of art that is not so clear to the viewer. Therefore, the mystery is always hidden behind a tattoo of this style.
Important date tattoos
What is the first thing we think of when we want a tattoo with dates? Well, if you have sons or daughters, it will be at their birth. It is very common to see how fathers or mothers carry that important day on their skin. Both the day and the month or the year. But it is true that sometimes, we can also find only one number. Perhaps because that number represents the day of birth, some important event or luck.
Sometimes they are also couples who share the same dates. It may be the symbol of the beginning of the relationship or the day of the wedding. Be that as it may, it will always be something that has changed our life, that is the beginning, and sometimes the end, but of an important moment or person. It is true that sometimes we look further and as an important date it will also be our own birth.
Original date tattoos
- With barcode: Every product has its barcode, so it is something we are familiar with. Hence, it is also an original idea, so that the numbers or date of your birth appear under it.
- With copyright: Another of the models that also make date tattoos original is an idea like this. with the copyright symbol that we all know and next to it, the date of birth.
- Family tree style dates: Sometimes names are unnecessary, because the dates already indicate everything and more. An example in the form of a family tree and with the dates of parents and children, is always another of the great ideas to take into account.
- Footprints: Before we mentioned the birth and now we emphasize it. Because if a date alone leaves you a little half, you can always add drawings. The footprints of your babies are always a good idea to accompany them.
- Electrocardiogram: Could not miss the design of the heart with a beautiful date. Also, it adjusts to different sizes and we like that even more.
Where does a date tattoo do
On the forearm
One of the favorite places for everyone is this. Just before arrival at the arm bend, it can be accompanied by a tattoo. They tend to have a rather small and simple style. It is true that on other occasions, the external part also looks great with such a design. But perhaps here the date can become a broader model in sight.
On the wrist
On the wrist, arrow tattoos can also appear in different ways. On the one hand, horizontally and with a rather reduced size, or on the other hand, vertically and better on one side or the other of this part of the body. We will not always see them centered, but with original finishes. It is true that if you opt for a vertical design, you can expand its size a little more.
On the clavicle
Without a doubt, of all the parts, it is one of the most demanded by those who choose date tattoos. A great complement for an area like this, where we will see how the Roman numerals have a great role. We will adapt them in size to the space of the skin, but always leaving that touch of originality and a bit of mystery that they always have.
In the arm
Although perhaps it is more frequent to see this type of tattoos on the forearm, we are not going to leave out the rest of the skin either. Because in the arm it is also common to see the dates on the back of it, just above the elbow. Although many or many also choose the part of the biceps to decorate with an important date.
In the ankle
The ankle is an area in which pain prevails, but that does not mean that the designs also. For many, one of the best where to wear a subtle tattoo full of connotations. So a date will always be a great idea. You can complete it with some other detail of your choice.
On the ribs
Vertical or horizontal? In both senses, dates are also the true protagonists of a design like this. Tattoos with dates are willing to leave us a symbolism and remembrance perfect. You can adapt the design, in size or letters that you like the most, because all of them will combine perfectly.
