There is something about Gaelish that makes me feel content.

That would be Scots, not Gaelic. LOL But there's a Scots version of this coming out in the future....

No... but living in Nova Scotia where we have the Royal International Tattoo, I get that a lot *SIGH*

Anyone got one for old English?
dremilymcewan
No but the publisher of this one has an Irish one, and is working on others for Welsh, Scots, Latin, and Ogham so far...

#1 tip for tattooing a word or phrase. If you had to look it up, don't do it. Stick to languages you speak fluently.
texscot
Or at least the Tatto Artist speaks and spells fluently
dremilymcewan
Truth. But I have not yet met any Gaelic-speaking tattoo artists. (There are definitely Irish-speaking ones out there though.)
texscot
Head for Glasgow, there's a fair few there
dremilymcewan
I actually agree with this. The best way to get a Gaelic tattoo is to start by studying the language.
dremilymcewan
Bonus: Duolingo and Mango now offer free gateway drugs, I mean Scottish Gaelic courses!

I would like to read more
dremilymcewan
Powell's, Amazon etc. can help you with that! Or... submit a purchase suggestion to your local public library! For real, they might buy it.

Are those (Russian criminals) tattoos or Russian (criminal tattoos)?
poopdagger
I believe it was a collection of tattoos found on different inmates in Russian prisons.

My favourite Gaelic phrase: Fook ya!
dremilymcewan
That one's Hiberno English, not Irish or Gaelic! A Scottish Gaelic one would be Thalla 's cac!/Away and shit yerself! [Note: Do not tattoo]

Does this one show you how to pronounce the words? Because my one full of swears is useless.
dremilymcewan
The tattoo handbook does not yet—a shortcoming of putting this info in a book unfortunately—but I'm working on pronunciation videos!
dremilymcewan
Each glossary entry in my book has a number, and my plan is to key the videos to the glossary entries.
dremilymcewan
In the meantime, here is a workaround for the sweary book: look up each word at learngaelic.scot/dictionary. Many have a soundfile!

This is irish
simonsaysKISS
It is indeed. I actually tried to translate Irish Gaelic to Scottish Gaelic and got the exact same spelling back. I know we have similar
dremilymcewan
Yeah Google Translate is highly unreliable... never use it for a tattoo translation anyway! "Tha seo àlainn!" would be the ScG version!
simonsaysKISS
Words and phrases but was surprised that this came back as identical?
TheAncientSea
That is surprising. I learned irish in school don’t know anything about Scottish

I believe they share a common route language from tribes like the Scots coming from Ireland then mixing with picts Celts and britons

I have a tattoo of my Scottish family crest on my back. Should I refinance my house?
dremilymcewan
No, you should wait until I release Gaelic translations of all the clan crest mottos, and then add that to your back piece! :-)
servingmytimeinusersub
My clan motto is in Latin though
dremilymcewan
That's cool, the project is to translate all the Latin, English & Scots mottoes to Scottish Gaelic equivalents!

Well is mackenzie in your book?
dremilymcewan
The name MacKenzie is "MacChoinnich" in Gaelic (son of Kenneth).
dremilymcewan
Not in the book pictured above, but I'm working on either a sequel or an app that will have the Gaelic versions of clan names & mottos.
