Help with Italian tattoo translation.

Hello! I’m looking for people who could help me with the translation for a tattoo. I love the Italian language and country. One of my favorite movies is La vita è bella and I even named my daughter Bella.

I would love to have a tattoo that says that my daughter Bella is my life and also says that my life is beautiful. My appointment is tomorrow so I’m getting a bit nervous about choosing the right translation now.

I posted on this page before, but I got got so many different options that I got a bit lost.

What would be the best translation?

Some people say:

La mia vita è Bella

And some people say:

Bella è la mia vita.

Or maybe something different?

Thank you!

Those 2 are both valid alternatives. They both have the desired double meaning. Just relax a choice the one that sound better in your hear.

Thank you for the reassurance.

I agree with the second choice, is more related to your daughter than the first, even if both are grammatically correct

Can you write the whole tattoo?

Yes, ofcourse.

La mia vita è Bella

Or

Bella è la mia vita

sorry, i thought it wasn't complete, anyway, if the meaning is that your daughter is your life, then the second one is the most correct one

I would just go with Bella è Vita, kind of a play on words.
