Tattoo of Life/ Death
The life death tattoo is a type of ambigram tattoo. When two words are found in one tattoo design, this is called an ambrigam. When read upright, it says the first word and when read upside down, it says the other word. The life/death tattoo is one of the most popular ambigram tattoos out there. The famous Method Man was the first person in Western culture to really make this tattoo design big but it’s likely he wasn’t the first one to get it and it’s definite he won’t be the last as many other people choose the life death tattoo for themselves. Not all life/death tattoos are ambigram designs. Some people choose symbols or pictures to represent both life and death to them. For example, some people choose angels and demons/devils as a representation of life/death or good/bad. Some people get a spade/heart with the spade meaning death and the heart representing life. Since there are so many different ideas and designs out there, you need to do some research to find the one with the right meaning to you. The important part is its significance to you. What represents life or death to you?Are there certain images that make you think of death or maybe that represent someone who has died in your life? Know what questions to ask

When choosing a life death tattoo for yourself, you should really put some time and thought into why you are choosing it. What does it really mean to you? What are you trying to represent with this particular tattoo? Every tattoo should be significant to the person getting it but life death tattoos often hold an additional significance The life death tattoo is one that can hold a strong meaning and should not be obtained without thinking about it a lot first. This isn’t the type of tat you get because you’re in the shop and all your friends are getting inked.
