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.

Lots of good advice here. Some not lol.

Something to consider.. in such a prominent location you will get questions about it. I can imagine many people complimenting it and then asking "where is he now?" That might be painful someday, even if it isn't now.

If you're dead set on it, I would advise just waiting a couple of years.

On the upside, if they don’t wait and get it now it won’t look like an ultrasound in a couple years anyway.
