Irish language tattoo

Roughly translates as 'Pog mo thoin'

No need for fadas, too much hassle.

An bhfuil cead agam dul go dtí an leithreas.

Is féidir linn

Irish is a very convoluted language, your simple three words become a whole paragraph, like so;

Ní hé Fionn na féile agus na gaoise, an laoch a bhronnfadh ór an tsaoil ar a chairde, atá againn sa scéal seo. Tá sé eolgaiseach agus tá sé glic gan dabht. Is eol dó conas úsáid a bhaint as daoine, agus iad a chur ar chonair a mbáis ar mhaithe lena dhíoltas a chur i gcrích. Tuigeann Diarmaid gur iarr Fionn mar éiric ar Chonán Mac an Léith Luachra Cnuimh Chinn Chéinn a mharú, féachaint an maródh an Chnuimh é. Nuair a tháinig Conán ar ais le ceann de chinn na cnuimhe, níor leor le Fionn mar éiric fós é, in ainneoin a bhriathair. Ní fios, ámh, ar bhain Conán síocháin in aghaidh a thola d’Fhionn an lá sin ar chuaigh siad beirt ag seilg an fhia a d’éalaigh amach as an gcoill os comhair súile na Féinne go léir

Because getting something tattooed on you in a minority foreign language in the UK or any other English speaking nation is pretty much the same as wearing a sign around your neck that says "i'm really interesting and mysterious, please pay attention to me".

Get a big hairy set of balls tattooed on your face. It'll produce the same effect that you are looking for and you'll be just as insufferable.

I'd say you're gas with a few jars in ye.

Get "top o' the morning to ye!" as a tramp stamp.

Get "faith and begorrah" as a neck tattoo.

Get the Fighting Irish leprechaun tattooed in the middle of your forehead.

Show them all that you are the most Irish.

Tell me mickey, why are you so angry?

If you're not sure how to say and spell it yourself, why are you getting it as a tattoo? The language surely can't mean that much to you if you're willing to get it permanently and painfully put on your body but not spend the few months learning it. I don't mean to piss on your parade but it really does come across like one of those "conversation starter" tattoos.

That said, it's your life, my Irish is crap but I found this on another forum from someone asking the same question

Here are my suggestions( I teach Irish btw)
1.Deán gníomh! (Take action/do something! )
2.Cuir i gcéim é.(Put it into effect)
3.Cuir i bfheidhm é.(Put it into action/put it in progress)
4 Lig dó tarlú (Let it happen)
