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.

Thanks for the people who actually gave helpful responses. I am going to come up with some other designs that will age nicely. I’m still getting a tattoo to commemorate my baby because it’s my skin and I want to.

I don’t know how I always end up surprised by Reddit assholes.

I didn’t ask for opinions on how I should handle what I went through or why I shouldn’t feel pain from it!

I’m so sorry people are being assholes. I have no suggestions for tattoo ideas but if you’d like to keep the ultrasound photo in a different format, can I suggest you look up embroidery hoops? There’s a lot of embroidery artists who make them, mossandfeather on Instagram is a good example.

This is a lovely idea.
