Coach You and just about everyone else, it seems. What are we up to now, Abigeál...77? For every possible (correct) iteration of that phrase, see here: http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com/lessons/article-59-10.html The one you have is misspelled.

It's got to be our most popular tattoo request ever, and yet none of us can quite figure out why. I can see why the phrase would appeal to people, but why the connection with Irish? Hope you don't think I'm being nosy here, or trying to talk you out of anything. I'm just full of 'satiable curtiosity tonight.

In the first place, the verb to use with "breithiúnas" is "tabhair", not "déan": "tabharfaidh Dia breithiúnas orm" = "God will judge me". In the second place, if you say something like "Ní dhéanfadh ach Seán é sin" ("Only Seán would do that"), the implication is that nobody else would be interested enough (or maybe even stupid enough) to do it. I would suggest "Dia amháin a thabharfaidh breithiúnas orm'.
