Ambigram Tattoos
These Tattoos Have Two Distinct Meanings
The artists behind the best script tattoos always find clever ways to turn simple words into art. One way to do this is to do an ambigram. An ambigram is a word or phrase that is drawn in a manner where it will say something from multiple points of view, forwards and backwards for example. It takes a very skilled artist to design one of these where the legibility holds up in both directions. In this gallery you will find some truly impressive ambigram tattoos.
