Posted by Hemant Mehta in One of the guests at the World Humanist Congress showed me a tattoo located on his arm.
It says “Heretic” though it takes a second to see that:
But wait! That’s not all!
Rotate it 180 degrees…
Has your mind been blown yet?
I love ambigrams.
I feel a sudden urge to go reread Angels & Demons.

Read Angels and Demons? Willingly?
Are you ill? Should I send a card?
Okay… its saying “Heretic” both way, correct? hrm.
I thought this was the greatest tattoo ever.
Am I blind or what? I can’t see it saying anything but heretic. Confused…
Personally, I’m fond of my American Atheist tattoo on my arm. It can’t be confused with ANYTHING! LOL
I read Heretic one way, Heroic the other
It says “heretic” both ways
Hence, ambigram. Though heroic would still be cool…
Honestly, I tried reading the tattoo before I knew what it said, and I got nothing. It’s a little like how listening to stairway to heaven backwards is a whole demonic verse, but only when they tell you what it says.
If people are interested in seeing the Angels and Demons ambigrams, they’re here.
I read the book. It’s exactly what you’d expect from Dan Brown. You know a conspiracy here, secret society there, lots of references to famous art and history, and a big reveal at the end. If you enjoy that sort of thing.
I’m with Cade. There was nothing there for me until I was told what it means. Which is cool in a way I guess. *shrug*
I LIKE it….it’s part of my normal screen name “HereticChick”
Eww! A hairy tick!
;^D

For every person in the world, there’s someone else that considers them a heretic.
…so nobody else thought it read “horny” when they first saw it?
