You changed her name from Anna to Ann? :^P

Thanks. And it will be on her wrist, so even when people do ask her which way do you read it, she gets to say both ways.

dache said:

You caught me!! Actually, Melissa's middle name is 'Ann'. 'Anna' is her Grandmother's first name, which is where 'Ann' is derived from. I've been playing around with both. :-)

Thanks, guys, for all the positive feedback!! This is only my second attempt ever at an ambigram, so to say the least, I am happy that it's even legible. :-P

ryantoyota said:

I'm blown away at how legible this is. When I first saw it, my gut reaction was "wow, this beautiful mark almost looks like it could be an ambigram" but the fact that I could read it so legibly made me doubt the fact that it actually was. Usually you can tell because something looks out of place, but not in this one. Nice work!

Sweet typographic treatment man. I really dig the mark.

OcularInk said:

@ ryantoyota
Thanks!! :^) I worked on this for quite some time, so I was extremely excited when I finally pulled it together. Ambigrams have always fascinated me.

And thanks, Joe. I appreciate that.

gotta love the ambigram.. just finding (and/or recognising) the ever elusive word or name that lends itself to this treatment is difficult enough.. well executed.. nice work

sans said:

Few marks create as much presence as ambigrams do. And you definitely did a great job. Your lady should be pleased!
How large will the tattoo be? Though I don't have any myself, a friend of mine is heavily into the stuff - as I understand thin lines are hard to achieve (in this case I would imagine they may pose a problem for those connecting the letters?)


Jul. 30 '07

OcularInk said:

Wow! Many thanks to you all!

@ sans : Excellent point, my friend. The tattoo won't be any smaller than what's here. Having many tattoos myself, I was very aware of the line weight. The thinnest lines on the ambigram will tattoo just fine. :-) However, I appreciate your concern. P.S. I saw the one logo you uploaded. Very nice typography. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

It reminds me Angels and Daemons book by Dan Brown where I read first time about ambigrams. I find it very very hard to execute it into graphics. I admire this work very much. Its very attractive and special. Congratulations to the brilliant job.
