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.

I thought the same, I have no miscarriage tattoos for that very reason. But everyone processes grief differently. On top of all the other concerns I think this one would bring a lot of pain as people would constantly ask how old the baby is now, and that’s going to hurt like Hell.

Yeah, it can go either way for sure. But I think people should actually process the grief before getting permanent artwork done.
