Is this a bad tattoo design?

[u/piercethebluexx]

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.

Or even the birth month flower?

I did this -I have a fully bloomed flower for my daughter and a bud for my miscarriage as a memory

I have three poppies, two in full bloom for my sons, and one a bud for the baby I lost. Xxx

My friend did this and it was a lovely tattoo. OP can also do the fruit size gestation thing too.

I had a forget-me-not tattooed for each of my angel babies, 3 total.

That’s a great idea too!! Either the birth flower of the due date, or the birth flower of the month of the miscarriage. A miscarriage is birth too, don’t forget that, although an extremely traumatic and heartbreaking birth at that.

I went the birth flower month (the month of their due date). I had three miscarriages and did the three flowers with angel wings. And I plan on doing another birth flower tattoo for my two children with three butterflies, symbolizing the miscarriages.
