Ambigram tattoo generator
Type one word or name, choose a lettering style, and get black ink tattoo lettering in two interlocking rows: your word the right way up, and the same word upside down beneath it. Turn the design around and it reads the same, so you can try names and words before you talk to your tattoo artist.

How it works
Enter the word or name exactly as it should be spelled, then name a lettering style: flowing script, blackletter, tribal, fine line or ornamental. To match handwriting or a script you like, attach a photo of it as a style guide.
Each run creates one 1K square design in black ink on a plain background, for 8 credits.
Rotate the image to see it read the same from the other side, and check every letter at full size. Generate again for another take, then download the design you want to show your tattoo artist.
In every design
Your word appears twice, once the right way up and once rotated beneath it, woven together into one piece. Turn the design 180 degrees and the same word reads across the top again.
Both rows use the exact word or name you type, with your capitalization, and nothing else is written: no dates, captions or second words. Names and words of about three to nine letters give the cleanest lettering.
Name a lettering style and the strokes follow it: bold flowing script, sharp blackletter, curved tribal shapes, a delicate fine line or ornamental swashes.
Prompt ideas
Start with one word or name, then the lettering style. Use a single word: when you type two different words, the design uses the first in both rows.
Sofia, delicate fine line script with long, thin swashes
Strength, sharp blackletter with heavy strokes
Familia, ornamental script with a small flourish between the rows
Ways to use it
Try the name of a partner, child or parent lettered so it reads the same whichever way the design is turned.
Faith, Hope, Strength, Familia or another word that matters to you, in a lettering style that suits what it means to you.
Run the same word in script, blackletter and fine line to see which shape you like best before you book an appointment.
Show the design at your consultation as a starting point. Your tattoo artist can redraw it for the size, placement and line weight that will last.
