Hi if anyone could help me out would be very grateful. Looking to get tattoo in Irish. I've been on Google translate but not sure how reliable this is, the saying I want translated is ' till my last day always ' Google translate says ' Til mo lá deiridh i gcónaí ' any help out their would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.

That's a typical google "trashlate" mess, where it leaves words in English ['til] which it can't translate and ignores grammar and syntax (since it just throws together phrases which it found elsewhere).

This should work, but wait for input from others before any ink is used:
Go dtí mo lá deireanach, i gcónaí
Until my last day, always
I added the commas for clarity, but they're not crucial.

It may sound a bit better in Irish (maybe even in English) if the "always" is stressed by bringing it forward:
I gcónaí, go dtí mo lá deireanach
Always, until my last day
