I want to get these two words tattooed, one on each arm. On the tricep (backside of the arm) vertically. Need help translating each word, thanks!

Loyalty, Family

Loyalty = Dílseacht
Family = Teaghlach or Muintir

Not all speakers agree precisely on this, but in Irish, teaghlach usually refers to the folks in your household; muintir usually refers to a broader category of people. Depending on the context, it can mean your whole family or clan, beyond just the ones in your home, or even your tribe or your “people”.

Good advice from Caoimhín there.

Thank you!

I think I will want to go with muintir because I want it to mean more than just immediate family. It just sounds like a better fit for me I want it to include all of my family close friends etc, people that im close with and call my family too.

So this is what I'm thinking as far as font. Like I said it will go vertically down the back of my arm.



is there any issues with that font? Can you read it fine?
