this tat is a ambiagram meaning it reads one thing in one direction and reads something else in the other .my tattoo says carpe diem wich is pretty much self explanitory if you know what carpe diem means! but if you dont know what it means its derived from 16th 17th poetry meaning seize the day . upside down the tat says work hard wich reminds me to work hard to make everyday a day to seize
