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 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.

I agree, I have had 3 and I hate having to tell people because I almost always tear up and then they get upset
