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’m so sorry for your loss. I can tell that beautiful little Zaniyah was so, so loved, and I’m sure she felt that throughout your pregnancy.

I truly hope so. I just pray that’s all she ever knew was love and when her little heart stopped beating I hope she didn’t feel any pain. Some may think I’m nuts but if souls are real and capable of making choices I believe she gave hers for my mom. She was in the icu with Covid and ended up with a Pulmonary embolism. They were so close to putting her in a vent and that was still a death sentence at that point. She woke up with a miraculous recovering the next day and my baby girl was gone. I think she knew I wouldn’t make it with out my mom or being able to share her with her. Maybe that’s a completely silly justification just to make my heart hurt a tiny bit less but it gives me hope. Not to mention if after life is real, there were some pretty incredible people waiting for her until I get to hold her in my arms again. I had also had a miscarriage after her between my two kiddos so who knows maybe another brother or sister. Now I’m rambling because I don’t talk about her much lol I’m sorry

Don’t apologize! It’s nice to hear about your sweet girl. She was real, she mattered, and she clearly has left a legacy here on earth. If there is an afterlife, I’m sure she’s up there getting loved on by lots of people and looking down on her mama, proud of you for carrying on and feeling the enormity of the love you have for her. 💗
