Please help me salvage what I can for this paw print

Okay so long story short, my sweet boy passed a week ago. I only have 4 (not so great imo ink prints) and one (god awful) clay print. I say God awful because I have had a phenomenal print by a different crematorium place for my childhood dog. I cried so much because I want to be able to have a good enough clay print/impression to display next to his ashes, but I can’t even bring myself to pull it out of the bag again. Everything is off centered, and just kinda wonky… I want to be able to pull the print/impression to make the following A better clay impression a clear ink stamp for a future tattoo So to clarify (because I have seen similar posts where no results are given) Dog is passed on so it is impossible to get a print from his paw all I have are smudgy ink prints so it does not show the detail I “need” I have a clay impression of his paw print. This clay impression is NOT FLAT and photos/photo copies do not illuminate/show the print well. I have attached photos of his paw impression for reference/attention I can post a pic under this post of how high my hopes and standards are/were based on a different experience. And because I am used to negativity, the only reason I didn’t take my sweet boy to the other crematorium was due to the fact he had an emergency visit that unfortunately resulted in my decision of Euthanasia because he wouldn’t survive the $20k+ surgery they could have done compared to my other dogs passing of old age and having a vet come to our home and help with euthanasia… please be kind as all I want to do is do better by my baby boy… submitted by /u/depressed_carbon [link] [comments]

I want to be able to pull the print/impression to make the following

A better clay impression
a clear ink stamp for a future tattoo

So to clarify (because I have seen similar posts where no results are given)

Dog is passed on so it is impossible to get a print from his paw
all I have are smudgy ink prints so it does not show the detail I “need”
I have a clay impression of his paw print. This clay impression is NOT FLAT and photos/photo copies do not illuminate/show the print well.

I have attached photos of his paw impression for reference/attention I can post a pic under this post of how high my hopes and standards are/were based on a different experience.
