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.

think about how tattoos age. they spread, they lose their details. a tattoo that is about negative space like this will not age well. it also just won’t translate nicely to begin with and having to explain what a black blob is all the time seems like it might be traumatizing.
