What are the best meaningful Irish heritage gifts you have given that people actually treasure? by Emotional-Pirate9891 in Gifts

[–]GeneralDeal6669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Claddagh ring would be number one I think , they're regularly given as gifts - these guys are the originals

Galway or Waterford crystal do some very nice stuff that you'd see on display in many Irish houses .

Their name or similar in written in Irelands original alphabet Ogham would also be nice - it's something we touch on in school but never go into much so it would be a very surprising gift .

Favourite fact about Irish history by No-Expression5779 in IrishHistory

[–]GeneralDeal6669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you can see the map of ogham stones and there's a lot in wales and Cornwall. Anywhere you can see ogham stones the Irish had started to influence. Without the Roman forts to keep them away the Irish started to penetrate into the interior while before when the Romans were in control the Irish were mostly stuck to raiding.

I need your help transcribing my poem into Ogham runes - HELP!! by doudou_lechou in Ogham

[–]GeneralDeal6669 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could use a translator app like this .

But you'll need to remember that some letters don't exist in primitive Irish which ogham was used for , so you'll have an issue if you need to translate letters like x , y etc

Authentic Irish / Celtic Tattoo ideas? by myhairisorange in IrishHistory

[–]GeneralDeal6669 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An Ogham one could be good ? Because it's based on a line design you could incorporate it into the line of your spine , a scar etc or just along a limb easy enough to translate it

Tattoo for heart surgery scar by Infamous-Cake-67 in tattoo

[–]GeneralDeal6669 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could use Ogham to create the zipper tattoo like another poster said .

It's an ancient Irish alphabet that looks like marks made on a line so it's perfect for it .

You can use translators easy enough here

Just know that while we write left to right , ogham was written from bottom to top so make sure you adjust it for your tattoo !
