I am wanting to get this phrase as a tattoo. I want to make sure this is the best way to translate this to match the original meaning in English.
Also, I am wondering about this alternative phrase "Ad astra, meo sanguine." Supposedly meaning, "To the stars, with my blood"
If you are intending to parallel the Latin phrase Ad astra per aspera, then ad astra per sanguinem is precisely right.
Change that to per sanginem meum if you mean through my blood.
Using sanguine meo as a bare ablative means "by means of my blood". It might also mean "when the blood is mine", depending on context.
Cum sanguine meo means "with my blood".
