I come from an Irish/Australian family with several of my uncles being born in Ireland and a couple in Australia, as part of St Pats celebration it is a tradition in our family that anybody who is 19 must get a tattoo with some sort of gaelic saying that reflects them under an Irish related tattoo. I need a gaelic translation for the saying "no regrets" please help me I've got 5 days to get the tattoo.

"Aiféala ar bith." I think, anyway.

I have no regrets would be "Níl dada na aiféala orm."

I'd go with Ciarán's first suggestion, "aiféala ar bith". Another expression in the same mold is
"Fadhb ar bith!" (= No problem!).

A tatoo is forever, so if anyone out there disagrees, or has a better suggestion, please speak up now!
