Tips for Ambigram Tattoos

• Be creative!  It's fun to create a deeply personal design with names and words that mean something special to you.
• Decide on the style.  Blackletter or script?  Minimal, or ornate?
• Start with the stencil.  The FlipScript Ambigram Artwork Bundle come with an ambigram tattoo stencil. To make sure that the finished design looks its best, have your tattoo artist ink the outline first.  If you wish, you can then get creative with shading the interior, as shown in the ambigram tattoos above.

With the right design, you’ll have a tattoo that’s not just art—it’s an instant conversation starter and a beloved part of you.
