Hey guys, I am an Irish muay thai fighter.
My body is pretty well covered with tattoos but I am looking to get a new one in gaeilge
The phrase I want is Respect All Fear None

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am hesitant to tattoo thee computer translations onto my skin, thinking they are potentially wrong.

Thanks again,
Kris.

The version Labhrás gave is good. To save money and pain, a shorter version is:

Meas ar chách, gan eagla roimh éinne.

I think I slightly prefer his version, but mine is cheaper and quicker... Anyway, wait and see what others think.

This is what I was going to suggest as well.

Two NWO signs on each side with a fighter kicking off the top of the triangle.

In this particular case, there are no differences as to capitalization from what you can do in English (sometimes in Irish there can be a small letter just before a capital, but not here). So, these are possibilities (done larger, so that you can see the accents):

Meas ar Chách, gan Eagla roimh Éinne
or
Meas Ar Chách, Gan Eagla Roimh Éinne

and if you want an old font:

Meas ar Ċáċ, gan Eagla roi Éinne
or
Meas Ar Ċáċ, Gan Eagla Roi Éinne
[Note the "h" letters replaced by a dot over the preceding consonant]

Edited to make corrections. I just wasn't paying enough attention!

or
Meas Ar Ċách, Gan Eagla Roimh Éinne
[Note that the first "h" in chach is omitted in the older fonts, and instead a dot over the first "c" is used]


The second h as well, and the h in roimh:

Meas ar Ċáċ, gan Eagla roiṁ Éinne
or
Meas Ar Ċáċ, Gan Eagla Roiṁ Éinne

I’d prefer the first version (with lowercase ar, gan, roiṁ).
