Tineke "Tini" Younger Honors Late Daughter with Heartfelt Tattoo

Influencer Tineke “Tini” Younger is paying tribute to her deceased twin daughter, Arya.While posting to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, January 5, Younger, 24, revealed a glimpse of her new tattoo on her arm — which featured a footprint and blossoms. Arya’s name was written in a flowing script alongside the artwork.Younger’s new ink arrives months after she announced the passing of Arya, whom she referred to as Baby A, following a potentially life-threatening pregnancy-related issue. Alongside the post, Younger shared a black-and-white image of her and her husband, Antoine Wright Jr.“This isn’t the post I ever envisioned sharing once the twins arrived; unfortunately, earlier this week we lost our precious girl Arya (Baby A),” she wrote via Instagram and Facebook in November. “We made it nearly 36 weeks; we were so close to delivering the girls and bringing them to term, but I experienced a placenta abruption and we lost our sweet girl.”She continued at the time, “Her twin sister is doing remarkably well and breathing independently. They are both incredibly beautiful, and Arya will always be cherished; her sister will know she is a twin and has a lovely twin sister. I will be taking a break, unsure for how long, but I promise I will return. I love you all.”A placenta abruption is an “uncommon yet serious” pregnancy complication where the placenta partially or completely separates from the “inner wall of the uterus before delivery,” according to the Mayo Clinic. This can “lessen or block” the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus while causing “significant bleeding in the mother.”After Younger spoke openly about the death of Arya, Teen Mom’s Mackenzie Douthit offered her condolences while reflecting on her own experience.“My heart is completely broken for you! I desperately wish doctors wouldn’t continue pushing twin mothers to try and carry pregnancies to full term,” Douthit, 31, wrote in the comments section, before discussing the difficulties she faced during the birth of her and Khesanio Hall’s twin daughters, Ja’Kharie and Ja’Meikah, in June 2025.She continued, “Both of my placentas separated; I knew they did, and my doctor refused to listen and intervene to deliver the babies. I had to go to another hospital and allow doctors I had never met to take the twins at 31 weeks. No one ever discusses this. You are deeply in my thoughts and prayers.”Months later, Younger shared an update while posting photos of her surviving daughter, Baby B.“Just wanted to briefly check in on socials and let everyone know L (baby b) is doing well; we love her so much. We remind her every day about Arya, and Arya definitely plays with her sister in her dreams; L loves to smile while she sleeps,” Younger wrote via Instagram on Friday, January 2.She continued, “I’m not sure when I will be back; I’m still emotionally and physically working to heal; I’ve had some complications during my postpartum period which I’m still recovering from. Thank you to everyone who sends support.”
