A tattoo lettering design reading "MCMLXII – MMXXIV" in black Roman-numeral serif capitals with a small cross above the dash. The widely spaced years sit on one line with an en dash between them and a slim cross centred over it, on plain white. Replace both years with your own dates, or swap the cross, to make a remembrance stencil.

Tattoo lettering reference on a flat pure white background, nothing else in the frame: one horizontal line of Roman numerals reading exactly "MCMLXII – MMXXIV", with a small simple Latin cross centred directly above it. The numerals are thin serif capitals with a vertical stress axis, and the flat serifs are sturdy rather than hairline. Stems are a consistent fine line weight with slight thick-thin contrast, so every stroke stays dark and traceable. Spacing is wide and even, with clear gaps between every letter so M, C, L and X never touch or fill in. A short en dash with a generous space on each side separates the two groups, "MCMLXII" on the left and "MMXXIV" on the right. The cross is built from two straight lines of the same weight, with a slightly longer lower arm and small square ends, and it is about twice the cap height. It sits centred over the dash, with a gap above the text of about one cap height. The whole piece is solid matte near-black ink (#111111) with crisp clean edges. No shading, gradient, texture, shadow, outline effect, skin, body part, mockup or decoration. The text group spans about 70% of the canvas width and sits at vertical centre, with wide empty white margins on all sides. Flat 2D line art that a tattoo artist can trace as a stencil.
