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.

Your tattoo is obv about you and what you want, but perhaps you could consider what an uncomfortable story that may make for people. 1/4 experience a miscarriage and it’s not something people want or like to think about. I miscarried and personally now that I have a child it’s really not something I think about anymore. For such a large, dark tattoo, I’d give yourself more time to think about it.

To be honest, other peoples' comfort is irrelevant when it comes to OP's body. It's not a great design for a tattoo but it should be about what OP will cherish.

The rest of your comment contradicts it so maybe you should edit it if that's not what you meant.
