    I mean, there’s definitely gonna be worse out there, but I once saw a tattoo on an online post, of presumably their date of birth in roman numerals.
    Problem is, there was only one “M”, so it looked something like: IV/X/MCXCIV

    But I figured, alright, let’s not assume things, maybe they’re a history buff and something cool happened on that day in 1194.
    But if I remember correctly, I found some list of all Wikipedia articles for specific dates and that day did not have an article, because nothing noteworthy had happened.

    So, yeah, I guess we do have to assume that they are in fact a vampire.

      Oh man, there’s something that really frustrates me about people with Roman numeral tattoos that do not follow the actual conventions of Roman numerals whatsoever.

      Like you moron, there is a numeral for the year you were born. You don’t separate out each digit you fucking dumbass

      Assuming 4/10 is 4th October, shouldn’t the day be written like “a.d. IV Non(as)” (4 days until the first kalend)

        To be honest, I have no idea. I’m not a Roman numerals/date crack myself. The tattoo definitely wouldn’t have been faithful in that regard, but it’s also not like they intended to be accurate down to that level…
