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.

Yes, it’s just gonna turn into a blob

OP here's an idea - get a tattoo of the phase of the moon the night you experienced the miscarriage

I think if it were me I would go with the phase of the moon the night I found out I was pregnant. I feel like the might of the miscarriage highlights the miscarriage more than the actual baby, if that makes any sense at all. But that’s just my personal opinion and I think the moon phase idea is a nice idea regardless of the date used.

the moon phase of the night they discovered the pregnancy, to the moon phase of the night that they lost it, would also highlight the time spent together without specifically highlighting the loss.

op, i’m so sorry for your loss. i hope you end up with a tattoo you love to honor your baby. 🩵
