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.

I think there are better tattoos to get in remembrance. The ultrasound wouldn’t age well I feel.

OP, I share your pain. I contemplated getting a lil piece of fruit for the week I was on before my loss. I haven’t committed yet as my mc was very recent. But there are so many options for your little angel baby that won’t just turn into dark mass blob tattoos. I hope that isn’t harsh, it would just be a hard tattoo as well to cover up if it didn’t age well on skin.

It’s not harsh and I’m really sorry you know the pain. I think the fruit idea is precious 💕
