Any fluent Italians, how would you write, “Love yourself first…” and “Love yourself”?
I am considering getting a tattoo of a meaningful saying on my back or perhaps my ribcage, and I would appreciate your help with the translation. The phrases I'm interested in are “Love yourself first” and “Love yourself.” I have a deep admiration for the Italian language and culture, and I would love to carry one of these sayings with me. Which of these do you think resonates more? Thank you for your assistance!

“Love yourself first” would be “Prima ama te stesso”,
“Love yourself” would be either “Ama te stesso” or “Amati”.
The first one doesn’t sound so good to me, if anything I’d choose “Love yourself”. “Amati” (read with the accent on the first syllable, “A-ma-ti”) is a fine translation, but it’s a bit ambiguous: in fact, if read “a-MA-ti” (with the accent on the second syllable) it would mean “[those who are] loved”. To avoid any misunderstanding using “Ama te stesso” would be the wisest choice but still, it all depends on your preferences!
I hope it helps!
