Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard format for a date tattoo?
Most people choose either the American format (Month, Day, Year) or the European format (Day, Month, Year). The
generator converts whatever order you type into it. Common separators include dots, spaces, or simply running
the numbers together on different lines.
Can Roman numerals have a zero in them?
No, there is no Roman numeral for the number zero. For instance, the year 2004 is simply written as MMIV (2000 =
MM, 4 = IV). Our generator handles this automatically and ignores zeros as standalone numbers.
Is the generator 100% accurate?
Yes! This tool relies on standard mathematical conversion rules up to the number 4,999. However, we always
recommend double-checking your specific design with your tattoo artist during your consultation before the
needle hits the skin.
