The Fall Team Spotlight: Alina Li
Getting a tattoo is personal. You want an artist who's talented, understands your vision, and makes you feel comfortable. That's why we love introducing you to the amazing artists behind the work at The Fall Tattooing and Piercing.
Alina Li brings something genuinely unique to the studio. She creates beautiful fineline work by day and trains as a competitive bodybuilder by night (yes, really!). Whether it's your first or fifteenth tattoo, Alina creates pieces that become part of your story.
Drawn to Ink
For some artists like Alina, the path to tattooing reveals itself early in life. "I've been drawing since I could hold a crayon, and the second I learned tattoos were a thing, I thought, 'Well, that's it—I'm going permanent!'"
Since 2016, Alina has dedicated herself to creating meaningful, lasting pieces that her clients proudly wear. Her natural talent for drawing and dedication to the craft shines through in every tattoo she creates.
Fineline, Realism, and the Natural Form
Alina specializes in delicate fineline work, realism, and animal tattoos - designs that flow beautifully with the body's natural lines. Her approach to helping clients visualize their future pieces sets her apart. "I used to struggle with explaining my artistic vision," she explains, "but then it hit me—when I send a design with a photo of the client's body part underneath, it clicks instantly!"
Alina starts by making sure her clients feel confident in their design choices. "I play around with my design to show them the best options when they're unsure." She believes in giving first-time clients extra space, more explanations, and all the time they need to feel comfortable. This thoughtful approach speaks for itself - her clients are often planning their second tattoo while still getting their first!
Steady Hand, Stunning Ink
As a competitive bodybuilder, Alina brings the same discipline and attention to detail to her tattooing as her training. Her athletic background unexpectedly benefits her clients, as she's developed techniques for maintaining perfect posture and stability during long sessions, ensuring clean, precise lines.
The Stories We Wear
The tattoo world has evolved, and Alina is excited to be part of this positive change. "It's great to see that people are no longer afraid to walk into tattoo shops," she says, noting that tattoos have become a celebrated form of personal expression.
She appreciates how each piece tells a story, seeing tattoos as beautiful markers of individual journeys and creative expression. "Don't judge a person based on their tattoos," she shares. "They tell a unique story, but they don't define who someone is."
Your Next Tattoo Starts Here
When clients ask Alina for advice about getting tattooed, she says with a knowing smile, "Don't overthink it too much because it definitely won't be your last one!" Her playful warning comes from experience; once you start exploring the world of tattoo artistry, it's hard not to want more.
