Getting a Gaelic tattoo with a famous quote is increasingly common, however there are many pitfalls that should be avoided. What so many people are inclined to do, is to dive right into some old Irish Gaelic literature, and pull a quote directly from there to have permanently tattooed on to their body. While this is a great idea, it would be a highly recommended to have the quote proofread by someone who speaks fluent Gaelic, just to make sure the translation was printed correctly. The second thing you might also want to do, especially if the quote is from older literature, is to consult with someone educated in Irish literature, and make sure the quote means exactly what you think it should. Sometimes Irish Gaelic quotes can sound great as stand alone, but there might be some contextual issues regarding the quote that would make it an unsuitable candidate for a tattoo. So do your research beforehand, and avoid any errors or mistakes.
