Kenny

This ambigram was commissioned by Caroline, who wanted to get an ornamental (but not too flowy) tattoo named "Kenny" for herself. I've used the ever popular stylized font to bring out beauty. I love the K/Y inversion, which has been made easier by the choice of this font.

Dfstars

This ambigram was commissioned by David from Italy and reads "Dfstars" (i wonder what significance this word has!). He wanted an ornamental blackletter font for his tattoo. The only difficult inversion was evidently D/S. The design looks cool. more stylish than anything and readable too.

Stoney

This ambigram was commissioned by Tony Chavez whose nickname is Stoney. He wanted to get an ambigram tattoo. I have made following two designs for him. The first one incorporates the hindlewood blackletter font and looks very stylish though quite unreadable at first sight.
The second one uses a more calligraphic with flowing lines. highly readable font. He's very happy with the second design and will be using it for his purpose.


The main effort in this ambigram was taken by S/Y inversion. While it decreases the readability in the first design, i've made it more visually appealing in the second design.

Matthew

This ambigram was commissioned by Mike Pearce, wanted to get a tattoo with a tribal font to mark the birth of his son Matthew. This is my first design with a tribal font and looks cool and stylish as hell..
