Be careful getting a tattoo in a different language. While it was a different situation, I saw a girl with "Cead Mile Failte" as a lower back tattoo- basically offering a hundred thousand welcomes to her butt. And there is a whole website dedicated to bad Chinese tattoos, too you may want to page through to get an idea how offbase people's interpretations can be. There's a couple different dialects of Gaelic, as I understand it, and you wouldn't want Irish Gaelic for a Scottish family or vice versa.

In any case, that sentence is by Richard Bach, the full quote is:
"The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof."
It's from a book called Illusions. You may already know this, but just in case, you may want to read where the author was going with the work before you have his words indelibly put into your skin.

(I have a tattoo myself, I'm not against them, I just am on the side of researching everything you can about your intended design/message before getting one.)
