I'd really like to get an irish translated tattoo and I'd like to the get the words "destiny is my choice" or "I choose my own destiny".
That's the sort of idea I'd like to get. I'd really appreciate any help I can get as I don't have a trusted source especially for something this permanent.
THANKS!

Hi welcome to the forum,

To get us started:

Stiúraim mo chinniúint fhéin (CO) 'I steer my own destiny'

Stiúraim mo shaol fhéin (CO) 'I steer my own life'

Stiúraim mo shlí/ bhealach fhéín (CO) 'I steer my own course/ way'

What about: "Roghnaím mo chinniúint féin." Wait for more input.

I was leaning this way as well. It's literal (I choose my own fate/destiny), but I don't see why it wouldn't work in this context.

Another approach I was thinking of was:

Is í mo rogha fhéin mo chinniúint
