Hi, I know you all are probably really sick of translating tattoos for people so I sincerely apologize for this!
Tomorrow is my 18th birthday, and my mother is taking me to get a tattoo (it's kind of a right of passage in our family)
I wanted to do something meaningful that also connects with my Irish Heritage and since this will probably be the only tattoo I ever get, I want to make sure it's spelled right with correct grammer and what not!

I have a few ideas and if you could please translate these for me, I'd really appreciate it!

Seize Life - I looked this up and found "saol amháin, tapaigh é" but i'm not sure if that's right.

and the other one is:

Life Goes On

Please Help! I really do appreciate it!
-Emma

Hope we are still in time for your birthday.


Perhaps:

Tapaigh do dheis "Seize your opportunity" (saol amháin, tapaigh é*, sounds a bit weird and literal to me, "one life/world, seize it").

Leanann an saol ar aghaidh "Life goes on"


A traditional proverb you might also like to consider:

Dhá thrian den chath an misneach. "Courage is two thirds of the battle"

As always with tattoos, wait for three to agree.

Thanks, I really really appreciate it! You all are super awesome!
I'll of course wait for three confirms.

I really want it to say "Seize life" but "Seize the oppertunity works just as well.

Thanks for everything!

Hi there! Hope you all are doing well. I have my tattoo appointment coming up to go in and design how I want it to look so I was just hoping that someone could confirm:

Leanann an saol ar aghaidh

as "Life goes on"

Por favor?
Thanks!
