Like their Native American counterparts did with tribal tattoos, Scottish and Irish warriors also defined their rank or commemorated a particular battle by tattooing permanent marks onto their skin. As far back as the 1600's Scots were using tattoos as identifiers in times of war. As warriors of old evolved into military men and firefighters of now, Scottish tattoos took on a new form. A firefighter, for example, will not get a tattoo until the day of his retirement, at which point he will ink a Lifetime of Service memorial on his arm, often symbolized by flames or a fireman's helmet. Another type of Scottish tattoo is the Fallen Fighter memorial tattoo, which honors a friend or family member who died in the line of duty. If his or her occupation was that of a firefighter, the tattoo will often have the person's name, date of birth, date of death and ladder number.
But perhaps the most popular tattoo of Irish/Scottish descent is the Scottish clan tattoo that has emerged over the past 20 years or so. Scottish clan tattoos are family crests of Scottish families that typically include the "swatch" or plaid design. Each of the 13 regions in Scotland have their own crest along with their own plaid, so tattooing a particular design explains where an individual's family hails from.
Gaelic is the language that is spoken by Irish and Scottish people, with differences in usage, accent and pronunciation depending on which country you are in. There are a number of different dialects spoken within various areas of the country as well. The three main Irish dialects can be found in the provinces of Munster, Connacht and Ulster, with the newest (but rarely recorded) dialect appearing in Dublin and spoken amongst the younger generations. The Scottish Gaelic language (a branch of Celtic) is the main language spoken in Scotland today and dates back as early as the 5th or 6th century. There are a number of English names that can be directly translated to Gaelic. Ailean is Alan, Donnchadh is Duncan, Coinneach is Kenneth; Iain is John, Uilleam is William, Catriona is Catherine, Mairi is Mary, Seumas is James and Padraig is Patrick. Other names, however, have no direct equivalent, so if you're interested in getting your name tattooed in Gaelic you will have to settle for the closest translation.
As with any tattoo that is done in a foreign language not your own, make sure you do your homework. Double check your translation with several sources. A native speaker is your best bet, someone who speaks Gaelic as their first language, English as their second. If a native speaker is not available to you, your next best bet is a Gaelic scholar who has studied the language extensively. Last but not least, there are several online translators who offer their services for free. Although they can be very useful, keep in mind that it is important to ensure your translation is correct by either using several different online translators or confirming it's accuracy with native speakers on a Gaelic forum or message board.
Here are some Gaelic phrases to get your creative juices flowing:
Is fhearr fheuchainn na bhith san duil -- It's better to try than to hope
An uair as laine 'n cupan, 's ann as dorr' a ghiulan -- When the cup is fullest it is most difficult to carryB' i sin reul 's an oidhche dhoilleir -- That were a star on a dark nightNíl aon leigheas ar an ngrá ach pósadh -- The only cure for love is marriage
Gra, Dilseacht, Cairdeas -- love, loyalty, friendship
Cha d'dhùin doras nach d'fhosgail doras -- No door ever closed, but another openedEiridh tonn air uisge balbh -- A wave will rise on quiet waterFear gu aois, is bean gu bàs -- A son is a son until he comes of age; a daughter is a daughter all her lifeAn rud is annamh is íontach -- What is seldom is wonderfulCeileann searc ainimh 's locht -- Love is blindTada gan iarracht -- Nothing without effortGAELIC TATTOOS

Hi I want a tattoo in gaelic saying "what does not break me makes me stronger" can anyone help me ?
Karyn, Aidan is spelt Aodhan, with an accent over the A, as for Carson and Bryce there is no translation. The following letters don't exist is the Irish alphabet, k, j, q, v,w,x,y,z. A probable translation for Carson could be Cormac...but don't get that tattoo'd on yourself and blame me if its wrong.

How do you say Bull in gaelic? Or what I really want is "The Bull".
How do you say Bull in gaelic? Or what I really want is "The Bull".
I don't think this is a place for langauge translations- ESPECIALLY tattoo translations. Are you guys for real? If you really want a tatto translation in a language YOU DON'T EVEN SPEAK then maybe you should get and get a book and do some research on you own stead of frittering away your time on the internet, expecting others to do the work for you.
Bull in gaelic is Tarbh x

Hey can anyone tell me the words family and eternity in scottish gaelic
thanks lesleymilne@hotmail.com
I just wanted to say that it's extremely misleading to use phrases like "the gaelic language" and to describe all the pictures above as simply "gaelic phrases" and "gaelic tattoos".
Irish and Scottish Gaelic are not simply two dialects of one language; they divided in the 17th century and are part of the same family of Celtic languages but are two completely distinct languages. Making no distinction between Irish tattoos and Scottish Gaelic tattoos will only create confusion.
I am also confused about your statement that "Scottish Gaelic is the main language spoken in Scotland today" which, if you're referring to Scottish Gaelic in comparison to English, is just plain wrong. And if you're referring to it in comparison to Irish, then you're also wrong as the Gaelic they speak in Ireland (which Irish people will usually just refer to as Irish) is not a native language of Scotland and will only be spoken by Irish immigrants and students of Celtic languages.

Is the "Friendship, Loyalty and Love" one Irish gaelic or Scottish?
It is in Irish for sure. I speak that language you guys call 'Gaelic'. We call it Irish, or gaeilge. Anyways, it's cool that people get our language tattoed on themselves. It's cool that people even knows it exists since most (not all) people in Ireland have English as their first language and Irish as a secong language.
I too am thinking of having some words inked on me, in Irish obviously. Hmm, needs some more thinking about...
Lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing.
this is a shity wed site.

I know people probably get tired of these translations, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me if what I have is anywhere near accurate...
creid - believe, or is creidiuint "to believe in" better?
duil or dochas - hope
foghlaim - learn
i would like to know what "learn from the past" would be, but the closest i could figure out was "foghlaim o caite," which i know is terribly wrong. (i didn't bother to insert the letters with the proper accents, sorry). Thanks if anyone can help me out.

Does anyone know "unconquerable faith" and "honor and loyalty" in scottish gaelic? Would be a great help! Thanks
I would just like to point out that yes infact the majority of scottish people do not speak Gaelic, but as for saying that 99% of scottish people dont, is a huge generalisation. I understand you are just pointing out the fact that it is not the main language of our country but in the 2001 census the statistics were 58,652 gaelic speaker in scotland. And i am certain the figure is rising. I am from the Highlands and Islands, and am in my last year of High School learning Advance Higher Gaelic course. And can assure you there are many, many learners.
Also please distinguish the difference between Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic...
Tha mi uabhasach duillich, just needed to get that off my chest.
As for translations, i'll try my best although i cant promice it will be 100% accurate.
Tapadh leibh a'cairdean
Ceitidh Mhorag
honor and loyalty = "Onair agus treibhdhireach"
Not sure if its 100% Accurate but it is straight out of a dictionary.
Yes, me again. Ha.
I cannot find the direct translation for enchanted but i have these as a base..
enchant - 'cuir fo gheasaibh'
enchantment - 'draiodheachd'
Hey Ceitidh morag,
i am from scotland but living in the U.S at the momment. was wondering if you know any quotes about mother/mum and sister. They are both in Scotland, so i was trying to get a nice saying for a tattoo. if you have any ideas that would be great.
thanks again x

is alba gu brath defo scottish gaelic for scotland forever, and if so is it defo spelled alba gu brath because i am getting a tattoo of that and just want to be 100% sure its correct, many thanks gaz
Just to let shaun know that if he really is trying to look for a translation of his name into Irish then he is a twat.
So are most of the rest of you. You can only translate indivual words or full sentences most of the time.
The most likely to get a proper translation would be the person requesting "play beautiful." Well as it is not gramatticly correct to start with then there is no need to make it grammatticly correct after translation.
By the way mister Moore I am pretty sure the translation of Mor(fada on the o) for your name is incorrect. It is the irish word for big and I know it has been used but think that its origins are completely different.
Now on a personal note can anybody tell me why they would get a tattoo of something that means nothing to them. Surely if your celtic heritage meant that much to you you would have already learnt how to speak the language enough to translate things like family, loyalty, friendship or even maybe how to conjugate a verb as simple as foghlaim(to learn).
I personally can't understand the shallowness of somepeople in their eagerness to belong to something they don't.
Seadh Gary,
Tha e ceart [It is correct]
Alba gu brath = Scotland forever
Saor Alba = Free Scotland
Saorsa no Bàs = Freedom or Death
Ceartas = Justice [in Scottish Gàidhlig]
A note to everybody, not all names translate into Irish or Scottish Gaeilge/Gàidhlig
A name like John in Scottish Gàidhlig is Iain and in Irish it can be Sean but if you have a name like Marco, Samuel, Beth, Ruth, etc forget there ever being a translation because those names come from other parts of the world. The only way you'll ever have a Scottish or Irish name would be if you were willing to give up your current name and choose a new one or for those having children, use Celtic names. They are beautiful.

Hi I'm looking for the translation to the phrase "that which does not kill me shall only make me stronger" or similar in Irish Gaelic. Please Email me at spazzy_ange @hotmail.com If you can help!!! Ireally want to get this as a Tattoo on my forearm and have for years but can't seem to find what I'm looking for! Itrealy would mean alot to me if anyone could help!! Thabks, Angie.
i want a tattoo with the words
take your time, and hurry up
please help me translate to irish
adrian, don't be such an asshole! it is you who are the twat. do you have any idea how many ppl, esp. here in america, have irish ancestry? perhaps we did not have the privilege of being born in eire, but we sure as hell have the blood heritage as much as you! were we born and raised there, we would maybe have gaeilge--although, many of those born outside of the gaeltacht regions don't know it any better than we do! so stuff your arrogant, holier-than-thou attitude and go fuck yourself, why don't ya? now i'm off to find some phrases in sanskrit--and i don't have a feckin DROP of Indian blood in me, oh me, oh my!
'is leath diom thu' with an accent or 'fada' on the i in diom and the u in thu is the way i would translate you are half of me
or 'is leath diom sibh' again with a fada on the i in diom is the translation for you (more than one person) are half of me.
with irish theres obviously lots of ways to say things but its hard to translate things directly. with names also its not as if theres irish versions of every name out there.
other things may change us but we start and end with the family - for this id say 'b'fheidir go nathrionn rudai eile ach tosaimid is criochnaimid leis an gclann' theres a couple of fadas and stuff on this but just reply if you want me to tell you where they are!
i dont think the take your time, hurry up thing would come across the same way in irish! you could say 'na dean deifir ach brostaigh ort' but i think its a little more self contradictory than your looking for!
for wat doesnt kill me makes me stronger you could say ' deanann an rud nach maraionn me duine nios laidre asam '
NB DISCLAIMER!! these are all just how id say them and they could very well be incorrect so double and triple check dont just trust some random guy on the net!! theres also a few fadas needed to be put in put as i said if you wanna just reply and i can specify if ppl are interested!
sorry dont really know wat i was thinkin for the last one it sounded right in my head i think itd be better to say mura maraionn se me deanann se duine nios laidre asam! im findin this one hard! my irish isnt as good as it used to be!
the direct translation of guionn an cailin a bhfuil ailleacht is: the girl that is beautiful prays. i dunno if that can be interpreted as is here maybe i dont see it tho!
hello can anyone help me translate this into any form of irish scripture?
You are my rock and my fortress. My Eternal Love.

i would double checkany transltions you get on this website as some of them are incorrect (not mine).adrian and jujugoeni agree that adrian was being in solent but there was no need to go ape-shit.jujugoen according to the latest census there were nearly half a million irish speakers in irelandand that figure is steadily rising.you cannot say that they are all from the gaeltachts as the gaeltachts are mostly remote regions that receive an influx of tourists during the summer.a prime example of this is me.im not from a gaeltacht
"Darrragh"
Thank´s... now i can make my tatoo! ehehehe
Sorry I´m brazilian, and i don´t speak englisch very well...

I would greatly appreciate any input. Tá mo chroí istigh ionat – My heart is within you. Please email me at kellybedingfield109@yahoo.com. Thank you
hey hey hey wasup bitchs
You know it's only you Americans who get Gaelic tattoos? Actual Scottish people RARELY do that...that's like your sort of hill-billy antiquated language to us. The Education Act of 1872 prohibited people from speaking Gaelic, so now it's really an American romantic thing in all honesty.
However, in Ireland they might still adore Gaelic; I can't speak for them

Hi. I'm from an Irish descent but my family doesn't speak Gaelic. Can someone translate, "The Goddess is within me" and "Tegan Nicole" into Irish Gaelic. Please e-mail me at ilyxx_95@hotmail.com. It would be much appreciated. Blessed be.
I still remember my Great Grandmother Masterson speaking Gaelic when we'd visit. She emigrated to the US sometime around 1850.
I thought I could have found this one, but no luck yet. Would anyone know the Irish Gaelic translation for "Live to Ride - Ride to Live" ?
Thanks and Keep the shinny side up

Hi,
My husband is looking for a tattoo and he wants one in Gaelic.
Can someone please translate this sentence?
"He who raises, is the father"
Thanks in advance :)
Try learning the language. You are exploiting it not embracing it. People like you make me so angry. Same for people who get Latin, Arabic or Chinese tattooed apon their person, how do you actually know what you asked for is what you got?
You're right about that we won't be certain of the right translation we might be getting, but i'm sure, and i will be speaking for myself in this matter, that if we find some translation we'll be working further on that.
But who are you to judge that we're exploiting it and not embracing it.
I'm sure all of us who'd like to be helped on this site, all have personal reasons to get translations. You're entiteled to have your opinion but don't judge if you don't know why someone would want it.
And if you're getting angry by reading all this, you shouldn't be looking at a thread like this. Wich is called Tattoo Ideas: Gaelic Words + Phrases btw.

Hey to anyone thats simply looking for a word in Irish, which is called Gaeilge by the way gaelic is a type of football in Ireland. go to www.focal.ie and type in the word u want and it'll translate it and its legit becuase we use t in college for Irish. Also if your looking for phrases in Irish it's usually easier to fin them in irish if you google "seanfhocail" as this means proverb in Irish and will bring them up in Irish. It'll usually only give you the main general ones though, but theres a lot to choose from.. :) hope this helps..

Hey, I really like the tattoo on the girls food saying until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
I have been wanting to get that for my dad since he died for a year ago but I didn't know how to translate it. I can't quite read it though, can anyone tell me what is says in gaelic?
Hamish is Scots Gaelic for James, is it not? Seamus (with a wee accent above the 'e') is the Irish translation.
This thread is unbelivable, the ammount of people looking for ridiciolious things translated to a language that they don't even understand. Irish is the native language of Ireland, celtic is the native language of Scotland, any surname with Mc at the begining would usally be of scottish herritage and would destroy your family name to translate it into something it is not! The other confusion lies within the translation of the word Irish into irish which would be Gaeilge. Most modern day names do not translate into Irish, others such as Sean (usually with a fada on the e) is the Irish name for John, my own name Paul translates to Pol with a fada on the o. Cairstie above me has already pointed out Seamus=james!! some names are spelt the same as in english but just with a fada over a vowel!!
My tat reads "A Leithéid de Saol"
I know exactly what it means but I aint tellin!!
eric b
Your's is too easy mate, 3 simple words forwards and backwards you're just too lazy to look for it, I'll write it here, but your prob that lazy you won't even look back on here!

Paulie... How 'bout "Such is life"
I am not looking for something to tattoo, but something to name the home we just purchased. It is 6 bedrooms on a lake and we are hoping that are 4 grown children and our grand children will gather there, as we did at my Grans. She was born Margret Donahue in 1900 county Clare and emigrated to Canada at 9 years old. To honor her and the family values she instilled I would like to name my home in her native tongue. I remember hearing her sing as I lay down to sleep as a child and the magical quality to her words. I would also appreciate the correct pronunciation, phonetically so I say it correctly. Any ideas you may have would be appreciated. send to ninagsears@gmail.com

Can anyone help me translate some Irish Gaelic words.
I am looking into getting a tattoo that says:
"beautiful girl"
OR
"beautiful"
Can someone translate both for me?
I would very much appreciate it, thanks [:
So many of these names originate from a different language, and so don't have direct translation.
Also, why get a Gaelic tatoo, if you don't know Gaelic, especially if you are of English descent, as your ancestors would have been responsible for Gaelic's slow death.
Maybe they want the tattoo because they want to embrace what once has been lost. And if you have been reading other posts, some people are studying the language but want to confirm it. Why do you have to be such a downer?

could you kindly provide the correct translation for the word 'think' to irish gaelic please?
thank you
Hey everyone, I'm Irish (language is a bit rusty) but I'd be happy to help.
Sidney, 'téann saol ar aghaidh' / 'imíonn saol ar aghaidh'
Eli, 'think' can be 'ceap' / 'machnaigh' / 'smaoinigh', depending on what verb you want (all are in the infinitive)
Lauren, usually it's difficult to directly translate sayings. Irish is a complicated language and is mostly backwards. My advice would be to search 'seanfhocals' (proverbs). You might find something there.
Nikki, 'love hurts' can be written as 'gortaítear grá'

I have a cross on my back that I would like to put "you are always with me mind, heart and soul" in Irish Gaelic around. I have tried to figure it out but the conjugations and different versions of words has me very confused so I was hoping someone could propely translate this for me
No Big Ups...
Bad Spelling Of quite a few Gaeilge words
And Celtic is not the language group, Gaelic Is, And there are four types of gaelic, Welsh, Manx, Scottish & Irish.
Can anyone help me with the translation of "Look after my heart, i left it with you" in irish gaelic???
much thanks
People, a note: if it's as important as a tattoo that you'll be stuck with all your life, don't you think maybe you should drop the coin to have it professionally translated rather than throw yourself on the mercy of some stranger on the internet, whose qualifications nor intentions you can rely on??
@Katia
Please shut the hell up.
the article is complete nonsense as far as anything connected with Scotland. Please do not use any information there to permanently mark yourself.
Hey i am getting a tattoo in Scottish Gaelic, would you what the translation would be for "No Regrets, No Apologies" would be? Thanks.

Hi could someone please spell the names Patrick and Nancy in Irish

Clay: The celtic (irish) warrior symbol is the Tara shield or warrior shield, found on Tara rings.
Gáidhlig is my first langauge.. And to me, 'Clann' actually means children not family.. 'teaghlaich' would be family..
How do you spell the Gaelic word pronounced "Sigh-bull-gaily"? It's the word one would use when you forget what to say next. I've never been able to find anyone who can spell it? My Grandfather, mother and aunts, all use the word but they say it's a slang word and not found in the dictionary. Does anyone know? I think it'd make a great tattoo or the name for a horse!
to the writer of this article: you need a serious history flash: It is well known by scholars and historians that the celts tattooed and painted their bodies with woad paint as early as the time of Christ and the Picts before them. Why does everyone and everything have to be compared to the native americans? how can so many people be so ignorant about their heritage?

My dad is from Scottland, and I have worked out a design combining a "triquetra" with a "&" and plan to do "Dad" + my name in his handwriting in this design, covering parts of the Triquetra+& combo.
This will be my first and most likely only tattoo, so I appreciate help from those who speak Scottish Gaelic to advice on all words for Dad in Sc. Gaelic and what the English translation is/word to use would be. I have no idea what I would call him, had I spoken Sc. Gaelic.
However if I do it in Scottish Gaelic it must not mean Daddy & Alex, as I want Dad & Alex, as I call him dad. Father is way to formal for me, and I hate Daddy as all brats who nags on their parents says Daddy/Mummy slowly in that annoying way.
The D and X could be fitted as part of the triquetra, but before I work more on the design I need to know the Scottish Gaelic word/names to use. Alex is of course short for Alexander, but I can't remember he calling me that, not even once.
Is the "&" symbol for AND used in Scottish Gaelic?
I could ask him to help, but that would spoil the surprise as the triquetra is a copy of his tattoo.
Can anyone please tell me what Brennen, Conner, and Addison would be in Irish Gaelic? thanks
