ποίει ὅ, τι ἂν ΒΟΥΛΗΙ · ΕΣ ΚΟΡΑΚΑΣ ἐρρόντων οἱ ἄλλοι

Literally, "Do what you like;  let the others go to the crows."  There's no equivalent in ancient Greek to the idiom you use.  For a more exact equivalent, try our English -> Modern Greek Forum.  You'll still get Greek letters (for your tattoo, we assume).

"Do what you want" would be the same, but "I do what I want" would be ποιῶ ὅ, τι ἂν βούλωμαι.
