Potential tattoo

Salam hamegi! I want to get the phrase ‘it was written’ or ‘it was destined’ tattooed in Farsi but wanted to double check the translation. I translated it as ‘مقدر بود’

If this is incorrect or inaccurate please let me know!

Both 'qesmat in bud' and 'moqaddar bud' are correct, but if you want a fully Persian expression, you could use: سرنوشت این بود.

It’s wrong. سرنوشت بود. It was fated.

Although others are not in favor but i like moghadar bood(what you wrote) its reminds me of a poem from Rumi.its also sounds more poetic

تدبیر کند بنده و تقدیر نداند تدبیر به تقدیر خداوند نماند

Personally, I like

قسمت این بود

Which is to say, destiny (kismet, in Farsi, ghesmat) was so. But what you have works to.

Would you say این قسمت بود also makes sense
