Beyoncé Knowles has an “IV” tattoo on her left ring finger which is a matching tattoo with her husband Jay-Z. The tattoo has many meanings for the couple.
IV is the Roman Numeral for the number four. Both Beyoncé and Jay-Z have birthdays on the fourth of the month: she was born on September 4, 1981 and he was born on December 4, 1969. The couple were married on April 4, 2008. Additionally Beyoncé’s mother has a birthday on January 4th.
Beyoncé generally does not wear her $5 million engagement ring, even though she describes it as her favorite piece of jewelry. “I feel like [the ring] is for me when I’m not working. And when I’m working, it’s too personal,” she said in an interview. “Even though it’s fading I have a little tattoo that is here always, because I know I would be working and I wouldn’t be able to wear it all the time. So I have this.”
Beyoncé and Jay-Z named their daughter Blue Ivy Carter, giving even more significance to the letters IV.
Demi Lovato showed off a new tattoo on the side of her left wrist in December 2013. It is a Roman Numeral “III” which represents the number 3. She got this tattoo in memory of her father Patrick Lovato who died in June 2013 after a long battle with cancer. Demi was not close with her father for the last few years of his life due in part to his struggles with alcoholism and mental illness, which she herself relates to.
She told Good Morning America: “My father and I didn’t have the most ideal relationship, but at the end of the day he’s still my dad and I grew up with him and he was a wonderful person…I’ve dealt with mental illnesses but my father also dealt with mental illness and he wasn’t able to function very well in society.”
Despite their strained relationship, Demi got the tattoo because she wanted to honor him positively. She also set up a scholarship fund in his name to help patients pay for mental illness treatment. “It’s the Roman Numeral three. It means a lot to me because my dad, it was his like number,” she told Craig Ferguson. “He passed this summer and I wanted to do something positive.”
The number three was her dad’s favorite number because he was a fan of NASCAR racer Dale Earnhardt, who drove car number 3. (more…)
