Exploring the History and Symbolism of Roman Numeral Tattoos on Ribs
– In October 2013, Cara Delevingne debuted a new tattoo on her ribcage, featuring the number 12 in black Roman numerals.
– The tattoo was done by Brazilian tattoo artist Daniel Tucci during Cara’s trip to Rio de Janeiro.
– Cara considers the area below her breast to be her lucky place, hence the choice of location for the tattoo.
– She also got another tattoo during the same session, the Southern Cross constellation made up of five stars, which is a symbol of Brazil.
– Cara’s agent, Sarah Doukas, has received complaints from fashion houses like Chanel and Burberry as they are concerned about the visibility of her tattoos during photo shoots.
– Despite the concerns, Cara plans to continue getting tattoos and wants to be covered in them.
