Hi everyone!
I have Irish ancestry, and I am finally visiting Ireland for the first time next week and I am so excited! I am looking to get a tattoo while I am there.
I want to get "There is not a wise man without fault" tattooed. I have found this translation: Níl saoi gan locht.
Is this correct? If not, can someone help me out? Thank you so much for your time!!

Close!
I believe the correct/traditional translation is:
Ní bhíonn saoi gan locht.

Wait for confirmation!

Can anyone confirm this?

I can confirm it. It's in De Bhaldraithe as well as Ó Dónaill. The English equivalent is "Even Homer (sometimes) nods".
