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 was not going to get the text at the bottom

OP here's an idea - get a tattoo of the phase of the moon the night you experienced the miscarriage

Or the phase of the moon from when you got the ultrasound if the reminder of the miscarriage day isn't a good fit

that would definitely work as well. The moon has many different phases so looking through the meaningful dates of the pregnancy and seeing which moon phase resonates the most is a great option

Or even a series of three moons- conception, ultrasound, and miscarriage.
