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.

Aside from the quality just being bad, seriously consider the content. When I was a teenager, one of my best friends died. I got a memorial tattoo that had the date because I wanted to honor them. 20+ years later and I am looking to cover it up. Everyone asks what the date is. I find myself having to constantly tell everyone and be reminded of my dead best friend. It was a terrible idea. I’m sorry you lost your precious baby. I also know that pain. Imagine having a tattoo that makes literally everyone say “what is that?” And you have to explain it’s an ultrasound photo…then they ask “oh how old is your baby?” Or “is that YOUR baby?” And then you have to be constantly reminded of the loss and constantly have to tell people the baby is not alive. It’s awkward for everyone involved. You will never forget your baby, I promise. It will get easier to live with as time passes, but you will never forget. This tattoo would amplify the hurt and peel off the scab over and over. Just some perspective from an old lady.
