Translation help needed

Post image

Hi! I would like to get this quote for a tattoo: It’s the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay.

This is what I have so far for the translation. Is this correct? Thanks a lot for the help!

That is not Sindarin it is English written in the Tengwar Script. Just so you know.

Yes, I know. Any advice if it’s possible to translate it to sindarin and if yes where? Thanks a lot!

While it probably could be translated, I would not recommend it in Sindarin and opt for English in Tengwar. This is due to some words needing to be coined, or the phrase changed. So, the safest bet for a tattoo would be English with Tengwar.
