We all have dates that mean something special to us. Maybe a birthday, anniversary or a day when we remember someone we care about. A popular date design to have is Roman numerals. Roman numerals are a prettier and more unique (and stylish) way to have a date tattooed. Not only that, but as many people will not know what the Roman numerals are, it can make the tattoo more personal too. People will only know what the tattoo means unless you tell them. To show you how gorgeous these tattoos can be, we have found 43 of the best Roman numeral tattoo designs. Whether you like small and subtle tattoos or bold body art, you will find something to suit you.
1. Pretty Roman Numeral Tattoo
The first tattoo idea that we have to show you is so chic and stylish. For this, a Roman numerals design has been placed along the top of the shoulder. It is a simple, sharp and beautiful tattoo that will suit everyone. You can have a similar design to this and use any date for the numerals. It can also be created larger or smaller.

2. Finger Tattoo with Anniversary Date
Every woman has a date, number, or time that has a meaning to her. That’s usually a dating or wedding anniversary, a lucky number, or a loved one’s birthday. Why not commemorate it permanently with a simple finger tattoo? The side of a finger is a cool placement idea because it’s not always visible and it’s a small area so the tattoo won’t be as painful. If you’re married, you can opt for a wedding ring finger instead.
