I am looking to get a tattoo with the phrase:

"To Thine Ownself be True"

Can you please translate that to Irish Gaelic? Or give me suggestions on what print to use?
Thank you
JM

A literal translation would be "Bí dílis duit féin" (literally "Be true/faithful to yourself) but there may be a more natural Irish way to express this. Wait for further input.

That's what has been suggested here on the forum in the past. :good:
