Hi everyone!

Thank you so much for your time :D!
I want to get a tattoo that encompasses the word fire which I believe is translated to tine in Gaelic. I was thinking of something along the lines of "born of fire." I'm open to suggestions if there's another phrase that would work better that encompasses emerging or being of fire. Also, I'm a woman so if that changes the spelling or word used I thought I'd let you know!

Thank you again!

Delia

Thank you!! What is your opinion on "Rugadh na tine?"
Also, I figured it couldn't hurt to get a professional translation too. Does anyone have any suggested companies for that?

Best,
Delia

"Rugadh na tine" is "the fire was born."

Thank you, Redwolf! Do you agree with Macboo's translation of "ginte ó thine?" I'm trying to get as many opinions as possible for the "born of fire" translation. Or if there are any other Irish phrases that reference fire within oneself. I want a written phrase in gaelic that represents fire within/Phoenix rising. :)

The fire within me - An tine istigh ionam??

I don't know any phrases associated with phoenixes in Irish myself, but maybe someone else does.

How about, Ó(n) Lasair, a rugadh mé/é etc?

Ó(n) Lasair, a rugadh mé

From flame, I was born

Nice!

Although "The fire was born" / "Rugadh an tine" is kind of badass in its own right.

Thank you all SOO much for your responses!!
I'm between the two listed below. Can I get a few of you in agreement or edit it (if needed) to be sure the translation is correct? Also, if we could merge the two that would be incredible... something like "I arose from the flames with the fire within me."

Óna lasracha a d'éirigh mé
From the flames I arose.

The fire within me
An tine istigh ionam
