Ok I have tiocfaidh ar la tattoo on me...

I am having, "Everything That Kills Me" on one arm, and "Makes Me Feel Alive" on the other.

I don't know what tiocfaidh ar la, dialect (old gaelic, the other choices, ect...) but I'd like to keep it the same....

Thank you very much!!!!!

I hope that what you have is "Tiocfaidh ár lá." Without the accents, it doesn't mean anything.

Not quite sure what you're asking for here...

Lol... Yes there are accent marks. I am asking for a translation of:

"Everything that kills me"
"makes me feel alive"

Thanks :)

Irish doesn't have the same syntax/grammar as English.
The verb will come at the beginning.

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

That's fine. Just however it would translate to say the same meaning

Here's an initial suggestion, but definitely wait for it to be critiqued:

Gach rud a mharódh sé mé
Everything that would kill me

cuireann sé an-bheoga mé
makes me very much alive

I was trying to find a way of using - fuair mo bhás - and - my being alive - would that work?

Do you literally mean "kill you"? You can't come alive after you die.
Or do you mean like Caoimhín said anything that could/would kill you?
A variation of "what doesn't kill me makes me stronger".

Edit: Crossed posted there

No latterly what would kill me... Makes me FEEL alive.

For example people who cliff jump. People who use drugs. ECT.
