I'm turning 30 in less than a month, and my gift to myself is going to be a new tattoo. I have been researching several different ideas, but have found myself drawn to the Celtic dog/hound designs, especially after my research on dogs in Irish myth (would love to know more if anyone has good resources to share). My current thought is to have a Celtic dog on the outside of my arm with the word "Loyalty" in Irish on the inside. Loyalty is a big deal for my family and I, so it would be great to combine my heritage and ideals! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

For loyalty, you could use dílseacht.
I've enlarged it to be sure that you see the accent on the letter "i".
In case you want to use an older form of the letters:
dílseacht

Dílseacht

Should work fine. Wait for confirmation to be sure.

Thanks! I'll wait a bit longer, but that is what I found when I researched as well!

Is there a way to get the dot over the "c"?

dílseaċt.

dílseaċt

Thanks! This is what I'd go with, if you're going to use the old-style writing. In that style, instead of an "h" after a consonant, you have a dot over it.

And I can second (or third) the translation.

Thanks, everyone! I really like the old style writing and think this tattoo is going to look great! Appreciate all the help!!
