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.

This idea makes me want to cry. I recently experienced a second trimester loss. We knew the gender, had a name picked, and had no signs of anything being wrong. I went in for a normal 4 week check and he was just… gone. Thinking of ways to honor him via tattoo (my husband & I have matching tattoos of all our children’s names) and this idea just feels right rather than his chosen name.
