Avoid This Common Tattoo Mistake
The most common mistake in Roman numeral tattoos: using IIII instead of IV for 4, or writing dates incorrectly. September 15, 1990 should be IX · XV · MCMXC, not IX · XV · 1990. Always double-check your conversion before it becomes permanent. Tattoo artists are great at lettering but not always at Roman numeral math.
