I've already got a tattoo in Gaelic and I'm looking to add another.

I was hoping someone could translate "God Bless, Dad" for me please.

Also, I might as well check my current tattoo..."Na Biodh Eagla Ort"??

Thanks

Ná bíodh eagla ort. Don't be afraid.
The accents are important.

"God Bless, Dad" - Why the comma? Is your Dad saying "God Bless" to you? Or do you mean you want your father blessed?

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

Hi thanks for confirming my first tattoo. Glad to say it has the appropriate markings!

It's as if I'm saying "God bless" to my Dad. As in when I go to bed, I would say "God bless, Dad" to him.

Go mbeannaigh Dia thú a Dhaid.
No comma necessary.

Wait for confirmation, or spelling correction.

Ah excellent. Beautiful looking sentence. How would I pronouce that?

wait for confirmation of spelling

I think it does need a comma:

Go mbeannaigh Dia thú, a Dhaid.

As a way of saying "goodbye/goodnight" you could also say:

Beannacht Dé leat, a Dhaid literally "(May) God's blessing (go) with you, Dad"

Await further input ...
