Ambigrams are words which can be read upside down. Dan Brown made them famous in his book Angels & Demons.
I predict these will be the next rage, or trend, after the release of the movie based on Brown’s novel. The Angels & Demons film will be released in May 2009.
I could see the release of the film making it cool to have a tattoo which reads the same both ways, or a design which when read from one side, reads your name, and from the other side, reads your girlfriends name. This can be a great and cost effective valentines day gift!
