Influencer Tineke “Tini” Younger is honoring her late twin daughter, Arya.
While posting to her Instagram Story on Tuesday, January 5, Younger, 24, shared a glimpse of her new tattoo on her arm — which featured a footprint and flowers. Arya’s name was written in cursive alongside the art.
Younger’s new ink comes months after she announced the death of Arya, whom she referred to as Baby A, after suffering a potentially life-threatening pregnancy-related complication. Alongside the post, Younger shared a black-and-white photo of her and her husband, Antoine Wright Jr.
“This isn’t the post I ever thought I would share once the twins came, unfortunately earlier this week we lost our sweet girl Arya (Baby A),” she wrote via Instagram and Facebook in November. “We made it almost 36 weeks we were so close to being done and getting the girls to term but I had a placenta abruption and we lost our sweet girl.”
She continued at the time, “Her twin sister is doing really good and breathing on her own. They both are so beautiful and Arya will always be celebrated, her sister will know she is a twin and has a beautiful twin sister. I will be taking a break, not sure for how long but I promise I will be back. I love you guys.”
A placenta abruption is an “uncommon yet serious” pregnancy complication where the placenta partly or completely separates from the “inner wall of the uterus before delivery,” according to the Mayo Clinic. This can “decrease or block” the supply of oxygen and nutrients to the fetus while causing “heavy bleeding in the mother.”
After Younger opened up about the death of Arya, Teen Mom’s Mackenzie Douthit shared her condolences while reflecting on her own experience.
“My heart is completely shattered for you! I wish so badly doctors would stop forcing twin moms to try and carry so long,” Douthit, 31, wrote in the comments section, before discussing the complications 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 abrupted, I knew they did, and my doctor refused to listen and take the babies. I had to go to another hospital and let doctors I never met take the twins at 31 weeks. No one ever talks about this. You are so so deep in my prayers.”
Months later, Younger shared an update while sharing photos of her living daughter, Baby B.
“Just wanted to hop on socials real quick and just let everyone know L (baby b) is doing good, we love her so much. We remind her everyday about Arya and Arya definitely plays with her sister in her dreams, L loves to smile in her sleep,” 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 trying to heal, I’ve had some complications during my postpartum which I’m still trying to recover from. Thank you to everyone who sends love.”
