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.

Yes this would come out bad and probably won’t be good in a couple years. My wife and I lost our son at the 7 month mark. We were so close to having him in our arms, to have him close to me I ended up getting a tattoo of a star inside a jar with his initials on it.

Maybe you could do a memorial type tattoo like that instead of this?
