New here, plan on spending some time to learn a little more, but I have an immediate need:

I'm thinking of getting a Celtric Tree of Life tattoo that somehow incorporates "Life, Love, Family" in it somewhere, but I want to make sure I've got the correct translation. From my various searches, I've found "Beatha, Grá, Muintir." Is that correct, or should I consider something else?

Oh, where are my manners. :oops:

Please and thank you in advance!

What you have is good, though I'd stick in the definite article, as that would be more natural in Irish:

an bheatha, an grá, an mhuintir

Wait for more input...

I would probably say:

"Saol-Grá-Muintir"

I'd use saol over beatha here, too. I forget why I suggested otherwise. I still recommend the article, though.
