Is this right for a tattoo?

Tír gan theanga, Tír gan h-anam.

I have heard that just Tír gan teanga, Tír gan anam. is wrong for a tattoo.

I finally have the chance to have this tattooed and obviously want to make sure I have it right. Lol.
(I tried searching this in the search bar first, but nothing was coming up.)

Go raibh maith agaibh.

That is wrong.
Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam is correct.

And fourthed.

Also, please let us know who told you that "tír gan teanga, tír gan anam" is wrong. One of the things we do here is try to correct things like that when we see them.

Thank you very much for your replies.

It was on a different site, a couple of people said that.
It didn't sound right to me, I thought it was Tír gan teanga, Tír gan anam. So I thought I would dig around a bit more.

I actually forgot about this site because I haven't been on in a while, and after I remembered my log in information...Lol.

Go raibh míle maith agaibh!

gan theanga is feasible, in my eyes, but I don't know how someone thought of gan h-anam
I have a FnG poster with Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam on the wall behind me here at work right now! Although I have always thought that poster was filled with Béarlachas so don't lend it any creed.
