Love Me/Hate Me Ambigrams by Tiffany Harvey
I've always wanted an ambigram tattoo -- a blend of lettering art and illusion that can be read upside down to read the same thing (or something completely different) so that the tattoo is a reminder to myself as well as message to others. Now, there are a lot of ambigram tattoo sites but I didn't want computer generated image or cliche word flash, so I went to my next Holiday Gift Guide artist to create personalized designs for me.
Check out Word Illusion, Custom Ambigrams by Tiffany Harvey.
Tiffany offers a variety of fonts, embellishments and arrangements to design your perfect ambigram tattoo. She can create one, two or three word ambigrams but for my design I wanted two separate words that read the same up and down. I picked the font, sent her the words, then sent payment -- $30 each -- via PayPal. [The price may be a bit more than a word generator but it is custom work, and like tattoos, you get what you pay for.]
The designs take a week to create but with a day or two she had two sample sketches for me. They were both great but I had envisioned something different so she came back with two more designs, and I chose my favorite from those two, both stellar designs.
Now all I need is the courage to tattoo my wrists (my sleeves stop about two inches above the wrist for when I need to be a secret agent).
For a gallery of Tiffany's work, check out her Flickr pages.
One final and important note: Tiffany makes a living designing these ambigrams and yet many have ripped them off -- including a number of tattoo artists -- without compensation. To use a design that has already been created is only ten bucks, so taking a screen grab of her work and tattooing it not only makes one a thief but a cheap ass. You don't want that bad juju going into your body anyway so do the right thing and respect her copyright.

ur so cute, who could hate you?!?!?
ps- this may make you think twice, but those 4 words together make me think of that song by Pink....and i may have to sing it every time i see you if you get this tattoo...
my wrist tattoo is the only one i'd remove. there's just no hiding it.
though that would be the best place for them.
I encountered Scott Kim when he was in high school. He was a really brilliant kid who could write any ambigram after just a moment's consideration.
After getting his Stanford PhD, he turned pro. He has a web site if you're interested.
Your wrists can be easily viewed inverted, so that's good for ambigrams. But that's going to be EVERY time you reach upward.
Writing the book is another story. You either require to do it yourself and market your ownmanuscript to apublisher or pay a ghostwriter.
generally, well, the truth hurts.
Anyone wrote something on my blog comments page about after looking at my close friends and interests I might be interested in joining this explicit group. None of my good friends or interests are such and I wouldn't want anybody visiting my page to believe so. But I can't figure out how to delete the comment! Assistance!!!
