Ambigram tattoo designs are unique in that they stay on the message no matter how you look at them.  Rotational ambigrams are sayings or words that through lettering art can be read when right side-up and upside down.  These ambigram are legible no matter how you look at them because they are lettered a certain way.  Asymmetrical ambigrams actually read something different that is, in fact, a word, but a different word than from the one read right side up.  For example, it might read Johnny right side up and Yolanda upside down. This style of ambigram tattoo design works with names, words or phrases. It can also incorporate different styles, shapes and fonts.

Like many different styles of tattoos, there are stars and celebrities who sport this unique design.  Star Trek and Reading Rainbow star LeVar Burton has one reading LeVar with Kunta as the opposite side on his upper right arm.  One of the stars of Desperate Housewives, Eva Longoria, has one as well.
