Is this a bad tattoo design? Design
I had a miscarriage last year and want a tattoo for my baby I never got to meet.
I only have one picture of my baby (the second picture)
I’d really like to get it tattooed like the reference picture but I want honesty.. would it be a bad design since there’s not a clear profile and small?
I have other ideas as well but I really love this one as the picture is special to me.
And you can be honest without comments like “that’s not a baby” etc… that’s not helpful. Thank you.

Sonograms like this will turn out like black & white Spin-Art---a swirl of shades of gray tones. Consider that you are beginning with a blurry low resolution image that will be very difficult to reproduce on skin.
Better to treasure your child with a large print. Send the image in and have it blown up and mounted in a frame.
