Tattoo to you…clever ways to send subtle messages to the world

ambigram tattoo

We live in the “Age of the Tat” (How do you like that?) 

I’ve been learning about different kinds of tattoos lately, and ran across ambigram tattoos! Who knew?

This ambigram tattoo (right) incorporates some of the most important aspects of philosophy into an ambigram.

It’s also particularly nice in that it is easy to read and doesn’t look strange from either direction, which is one of the hardest aspects in making an ambigram.

There are many other types that are off-the-wall like -multiple meaning ones, skull illusion tattoos, and anamorphic ones. Here’s nine other tattoos for your viewing pleasure.
