What is the writing called when it says one thing one way and upside down it says another?

A lot of people get it tattooed. It looks almost like some gothic writing. An example would be it’ll say "life" right side up and "death" upside down.

Does anyone know what that form of writing is called?

It’s called an ambigram…check it out:
