I'm planning on getting an Irish proverb or something tattooed to go along with my current "celtic" design I have on my back. Does anyone have any good ideas? I'm looking for something that has a good meaning. Please help!

Try the proverbs section of this site:

http://www.daltai.com/proverbs.htm

Usually not advisable to translate proverbs, or anything that sounds smooth and clever, from English into Irish.

Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde.

Have you checked into the proverb section of this site first? At the bottom of the page, you'll find a link.

Gael mise agus bródúil as

Irish and proud!!

A people without a language of its own is only half a nation.A nation should guard its language more than its territories, 'tis a surer barrier and a more important frontier than mountain or river

One must always be careful before getting tattoos permanently inked into one's skin in a language one does not speak.
