As I said, there are others, depending on connotation.
If you want to mix genders of adjective and noun feel free, it's your tatoo.
But obviously you have another agenda apart from translating English to Spanish, so I'll let someone else take over.

Ok so, I really want to get a tattoo that says "A beautiful life" in spanish
but all i know is life is beautiful
help?aranoid:
The context translated to Spanish would be:
"Una Hermosa Existencia"
In street creed:
"La Pura Vida!"
Picardo, with all due respect, la pura vida, translates as the pure life, the ironic motto of Costa Rica, but not the same as a beautiful life. In fact, those two terms might have conflicting connotations in certain situations.
You're translating words not the meaning in context of the words per se...
La pura vida is street creed for "a good life", "a beautiful life", "etc...".
The two translations as per meaning in the context of the words are 99% far more accurate than anything else...
Forget Costa Rica and their creed, and ask where the question was posted at, to whom and why...
If you need to be Spanish centered around the world for context, no word by word will do the job as Spanish is only the name attributed to all our "dialects" based on the Spanish (read country-people) language...
I agree with your assessment of context and meaning, and I wasn't suggesting pura vida didn't have other connotations.
But since the OP is obviously not a fluent speaker of Spanish, perhaps she/he was looking for something a little more generic. Pura Vida is definately associated with Costa Rica pretty much world-wide.
