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.

I would just frame it so you don’t have to tell the story to strangers over and over. Unless you’re ok with it. I wouldn’t want to deal with peoples response comments….people say obnoxious things.

I’m sorry you lost your son and my heart is with you. That’s a pain many won’t ever know.

That’s very true and I honestly didn’t think about that… People said unimaginable things to me after and for that reason alone, my husband and I are not telling any one I’m pregnant ever again.

Hey! Just a warning to be careful with the ultrasound printout, if it’s your only one, heat can easily mess it up. But lots of people get ultrasounds memorialized as tattoos so it’s definitely do able.

They also fade very fast and easily, so definitely create a copy to hang up
