Dad Gets Daughter's Portrait Tattooed After Surgery

A Teen Mom alum recently revealed a striking new tattoo: a realistic portrait of his 3-year-old daughter, Maya. This deeply personal artwork was inked on his upper arm, serving as a tribute following Maya's second open-heart surgery. The reality star expressed his immense pride, noting he now has portraits of all three of his daughters adorning his arm.

The decision to get the tattoo came after a period of significant concern for Maya's health. The alum had previously shared his anxieties as his daughter prepared for her second major surgery, acknowledging the emotional toll such procedures take on parents. He described Maya as a 'lil warrior' who bravely faced the surgery.

Following the procedure, which involved the Fontan Procedure for a congenital heart defect, the young girl entered a recovery phase. The father shared an update confirming that everything went well and expressed gratitude for the outpouring of prayers and support. While acknowledging the ongoing challenges of recovery, he remained optimistic about Maya's resilience.
