OK here it is i am going to go get inked on my b-day in april. i figured out what i want. I am getting a celtic cross on the inside of my fore arm and with "in name of the father the son and the holy spirit" around it, but i want it in gaelic or latin but i do not know anyone that speaks gaelic, if anyone wants to help me out on this i would be much grateful.
 
I wouldn't bother with the Gaelic. Theres only a few people left even here in Scotland that know it, and it'd just look a little ridiculous. Latin is a hell of a lot more badass too.
 
What Capn said is correct, no one really speaks gaelic no more, we had it at my primary for people that came from wee villages just to learn it...
 
It would probly make more sense to do gaelic with a celtic cross, but like capt said if the language looks stupid maybe its not the best idea, ive never seen it but I think it would make more sense to do with any of the celtic designs
 
If u can do it why not do it in Gaelic? I think the language looks cool

我喜歡邊遊戲組織 (<= translate that)

or go with latin, latin is awesome
 
ya i have been thinking about it latin, plus latin would be a lot cheaper by about 50 bucks less charcters and all. On top of that i know a good bit of latin so i know if it is spelled right. i just want to make sure if i get inked it is spelled right and looks right. thanks for your guys' imput.
 
Just remember that you won't be able to have that showing in uniform.
 
The latin translation is "In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti" I remember it because its the last line in the boondock saints prayer.

Foxhound has the spelling right. Greek would be cool as well.
