I am wondering how to spell in irish Irish Pride for my tatoo i am getting.

These simplistic sayings never translate directly into Irish. To get what you expect from that one, you'd get a phrase that'll be, I'd expect, a bit longer than you'll want to put on yourself. Something like, Is Gael mise agus tá bród orm as - I'm Irish and proud of it.
PLEASE DO NOT USE THAT! I'm not sure of the grammar nor idiom. It's meant purely as an example.
Perhaps someone else could give better advice on this.

Mórtas Gaelach

or

Bród Gaelach

I'd recommend the first. Maidhc's point is usually true, but in this case it works.

I could always just get irish pride in english but i would love for people to see it and be like what does that mean, i have been told that Bród Éireannach means irish pride but i want to make sure before i get it in ink. The tatoo is my familys crest and i want words around it.

what do the two actually translate into

I'd go with Aonghus on his examples. As far as I understand it, the difference between Éireannach and Gaelach is that Éireannach is used for someone who was born and lives in Ireland whereas Gaelach refers to someone who has Irish liniage.
Side question - Does your family crest have a motto? Perhaps you could have it translated into Irish. Just a thought.

what does mortas mean

Mórtas means boastfulness, swelling, pride.
Bród simply means pride.

Gaelach 7 Bródúil = Irish (in heritage) and Proud

or perhaps: Gaelach 7 Bródúil As (... and Proud of It)

and if that works, you could probably make it even more concise by using "mór" (literally "big") instead of "bródúil":

Gaelach 7 Mór As

Note to Jeff: what looks like a 7 is an old scribal abbreviation similar to "etc.", still sometimes used. The horizontal line should actually be lower than in the numeral, so that the tail hangs below the line of text. The point of using this instead of "agus" would be (a) saving ink and space (b) using a neat little sign that has a lot of history behind it.

No. Language doesn't work that way. The "Gaelic Font" is the same letters as are used in English, but with slightly different shapes. So writing words in English with it will not make them Irish.

If you want to write things in Irish, you'll have to either learn it or have someone translate.

You got the translations you asked for in another thread.

However, if you meant "DREAM" to be a command, you will need, in Irish, to prefix a verb:

"Bí ag brionglóid" (Be dreaming)


Depending on what you really mean by dream, it could be more complicated, since dream in English covers a lot of meanings - be ambitious, be imaginative, be fanciful...:

Brionglóid does not convey all those meanings.
