Ambigram Style
September 11, 2009 by Poty · 1 Comment
If you’re a tattoo fanatic, you are most likely familiar with “Ambigram” style. For those who are new to this, Ambigram style is a graphic figure that can be read upside down yet spells out the same thing.
This tattoo by Steve Ruivivar of New York City is an example of Ambigram style tattoo. It says his last name and he said he was very hooked with this after reading Angels and Demons few years ago.

What’s up with the ambigram? Admit it or not, it started to gain popularity when Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons was released a few years back. The book contains the famous ambigram of Illuminati which, when inverted, reads just the same. But has ambigram something to do with us, Filipinos? Answer is yes.
Ambigram is becoming a famous tattoo subject for most. See Parokya ni Edgar vocalist Chito Miranda’s surname inked on his right arm. In no time, the internet will be bombarded with Filipinos tattooed with ambigram since it is the in-thing.
Since we already are speaking of being a part of the fad, Philippines is now being tagged as a nation of copycats. We have the Pinoy Idol, Survivor Philippines, Kakasa ka bas a Grade 5 and more. We need not to tell you their counterpart. Funny? Not. Whatever happened to Filipino’s creative side?
