Katy Perry’s Super Bowl keepsake in four numerals

Four numerals after halftime

Katy Perry marked her 2015 Super Bowl halftime performance with XLIX, the Roman numeral for 49, on the inside of her right ring finger. Steal Her Style documents the small serif lettering in a hand photograph and Perry’s own close view.

Her Instagram post showed the finished tattoo. Glamour’s contemporary report records her sequence of session and finished-tattoo posts on February 2, 2015. The compact line of lettering fits along the side of one finger.

The paired design is a source-conditioned reconstruction of the visible four numerals using the hand-context and close views. Keep it small when trying the motif on; the photographs document its actual finger-scale footprint.
