Tattoo Chaos from Within

[tomascarreira]

Good morning.
First of all I want to thank the ones who take the time to read and answer this post.
I am Portuguese, so I have always had a taste for trying to understand the latin language and explain the origin of portuguese words from latin ones, despite never taking the time to properly study latin.
I'm writing this post to make sure my research checks out, namely in an expression I intend to tattoo.
The expression is as follows: Chaos from Within- as in chaos coming from the inside of one's mind.
I therefore ask for translations to latin, preferably with context explained.
Thank you.

Regards,
Tomás Carreira

maybe something like
Chaos ex intimo animo ortus.

I'm curious, is there a difference between 'chaos' in Latin and 'chao' as written in the well known Masonic motto "Ordo Ab Chao" ?

And if so, what circumstances define which is used when, etc?

Chao is a form of chaos. You use it with certain cases. Do you want to learn about those?

Absolutely! I would appreciate your insight.

So, in Latin, nouns change a bit depending on the grammatical function they have in a sentence. The forms that they take are called cases. An extremely simplified explanation of the cases: nominative is for when the noun is a subject, the accusative for direct objects, the dative for indirect objects, the genitive for possession, the ablative for separation, and the vocative for direct address.
You would only use chao if it were a indirect object, or if you were using the ablative.

Case	Singular
Nominative	chaos
Genitive	chaī
Dative	chaō
Accusative	chaos
Ablative	chaō
Vocative	chaos
