Translation help please

"Cum sùil air..." (Keep an eye on) Cum is pronounced a bit like "koom" and sùil "sool" with a longer oo sound.

Not that it wouldn't make for a tattoo worthy of discussion; where would one place such a long phrase that it would be viewed? I suppose it could start on one sleave, go across the back and then down the other arm...but honestly the average person would lose interest at the first elbow.

Where did the "Cum sùil air..." come in? Yet another manner of expressing this thought? Just curious as it was not in the initial two options you provided.
Thanks again

Yup, just another expression that could be used to cover "Beware", "keep an eye on" "Watch out for". Literally "Keep eye on...". Cumaibh would be the polite or plural form, but Cum is probably better as its more direct.
