Top 30 Ambigram Tattoos For Men

Lettering tattoos are very popular and striking, but within this area ambigrams stand out. That is, those words or phrases that can be read from two different perspectives. There are three types of ambigrams classified according to the requirement that must be met to perform the second reading. There are the so-called central symmetry ambigrams, which must be rotated 180 degrees to discover the other text. There are also ambigrams of horizontal or vertical symmetry, in this case it is necessary to reflect them in a mirror. Finally there are the natural ones, which do not require any effect, for example palindromes.

The most used type of ambigram for tattoos is the one with central symmetry. These pieces play with symmetry and optical illusions to create the desired effect. Without a doubt, they are tremendously creative designs that require great skill on the part of the artist. Tattoos must be harmonic, attractive and legible. There are no language limitations to perform an ambigram. Although the best known are those made in English. Due to the complexity of its creation, it is very common for copies of existing designs to be made. What makes an ambigram interesting is the concept behind its design, rather than its unique character, as would be the case with any other tattoo. Of course, this is up to you, you may prefer to create an original or stick to an already made one. Another striking aspect of these pieces is the double game that exists not only in their reading, but also in their obviousness. On the one hand, they are usually very large tattoos, due to their level of detail and depending on their location, they are easy to see. However, they are not easy to understand. It is the perfect definition of an open secret.

The choice of the type of calligraphy to use is very important, since in its forms lies the possibility of carrying out the double reading. Gothic letters are possibly the most used. In the same way, printing or medieval-inspired typography achieve the desired effect. For the decision on the text to use you have to decide if your ambigram will contain one or two words or phrases. In the first case, the calligraphy is executed in such a way that the same word or phrase is read from two different perspectives. In the second option, the first reading contains a different text from the one that can be read when changing perspective.

When you combine two different readings in your ambigram they can be complementary or opposite. For example there is a design that says Friends and Sisters. In another piece you can read My family is my life. There is also a combination between Faith and Hope. In all these ambigrams the two readings are related by affinity in what they express.
