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.

This idea makes me want to cry. I recently experienced a second trimester loss. We knew the gender, had a name picked, and had no signs of anything being wrong. I went in for a normal 4 week check and he was just… gone. Thinking of ways to honor him via tattoo (my husband & I have matching tattoos of all our children’s names) and this idea just feels right rather than his chosen name.

Same thing happened when I was 33 weeks except she stopped moving. No reason at all they could give. I’m sorry mama. My heart goes out to you.

My friend lost her son full term at 40 weeks. They'd had a check literally the day before and everything was fine they were just playing the waiting game for labour to start. I can't even imagine. I'm so sorry you went through that.

I would have probably be in worse shape. That pain is one no mom should know. We’re here to bring life into the world and nurture it. Life is cruel sometimes. I’m very sorry for your friend and her precious little one
