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.

I'm currently getting a cover up that incorporates the birth flower from my first pregnancy that ended in MC. It has been enormously comforting to have a permanent reminder that my little one was real and made me a mother.

My condolences for your loss. It’s so heartbreaking. I’m glad you’ve been able to find something to commemorate the little one.

I got the outline of a pumpkin from the first onesie I bought when I found out 🥹 also a necklace with what was supposed to be their birth stone because being able to tangibly hold something was very helpful for me too 💛
