    Posted: September/26/2008 at 5:21pm
I love ambigrams, and wanted to see if there was any way to combine both kids' names into a single ambigram on my right arm.  It looks like a difficult combination in my world of stick figures and phallic symbology (although I've surprised myself in Photoshop) that I don't have the artistic vision to see if the letter combination would go together.  I have looked at a few designs of their individual names, but would really like them together in one.

Names: Brendan and Haleigh

Anyone out there have any skills with ambigram design that might be able to toss some thoughts my way?

There are a few website on the net that will generate ambigrams for you. Some of them cost money some of them done. I myself have two ambigram tattoos, I was lucky though and they were both in a book I was reading.
 
Best of luck in finding what you are looking for.

I've found a few, but none claim to be able to put together both names as one.  That's where finding an artist who can pull it off, may become a necessity.  Everyone has their skills, but not everyone can do an ambigram, I understand that.

I could always try something out, but I don't promise anything. I only did ambigrams a few times before and they didnt looked that great. But I guess if i give a principal shape, another artist can just make it look better.

Well, shit.  That's what I get for not thinking to look for ambigram info here... 

All kidding aside, I've looked at wowtattoos, and I like the independent name designs the site can come up with.  It's not urgent by any stretch, as my body will still be here for ink until it's not.  But I WILL get it before starting on my storm scape full back piece.

Thanks for the tutorial link though.  I'd be pretty happy with myself if I actually came up with that design.  My calf is my design, but I used other graphics to put it together how I wanted.  It's an original design, but it's not...

Actually I did something. It's not perfect, but considering I just woke up...And that it only took around 20 minutes..

I'm impressed with what you put together so quickly.  Although, I do have a different concept in mind for what will be the final product.  Below is closer to what I'm looking to get, but the end result is pretty open ended.



Thanks for taking the time to do it though.  That's pretty cool of you to do.

You can bring my work to a tattoo artist and ask them to render the letter style you got on your sheets tho. I just gave it a general shape.
