I want to know how to write "Live Love Dream" in Irish (for a tattoo I want to get). Thank you!

Gráigh Mair Taibhrigh = Live Love Dream

Please wait for corrections. And there are bound to be suggestions that you should say something other than what you would like to say, literally, above.

No correction required.

"And there are bound to be suggestions that you should say something other than what you would like to say, literally, above."

Yep. It doesn't come across at all naturally in Irish. What do you really mean?

Love somebody in particular, or just be generally loving? What do you mean by dream? (Or live for that matter!)

The only thing is that Bodhran has given you "Love Live Dream" - just swap the places of Gráigh and Mair.
