Tia Ling was born and raised in Cleveland OH; possibly the first and only Asian adult actress to come from Ohio. She is of Korean descent. She met her then husband Bryan in a local gym who offered to "train" her. Soon they were married and he helped her into the local swinger's scene and then into a life of porn. She did a demo scene for a local porn company, and then was invited to go to the 2006 Adult Entertainment Expo and while there met with Joel from Goldstar Modeling. Her career then started in late 2005. She specialized in hardcore, fetish and BDSM.
After the start of her career, her then suitcase pinp husband created an account and thread on xpt (and other boards) in her name, pretending to be Tia. We gave her the gold standard xpt treatment. Posts to her included:
- (after posting a pic of her with another Asian woman) "And which Asian butterface would you be in that picture?"
- "This is not going to end well for you."
- "How much of your money does your suitcase pimp get?"
- "2 dolla suckie suckie" is too much for this pig!"
- After telling xpt to ask her anything, I asked, "A train leaves New York city heading west, going 58 miles per hour. At the same time, a train leaves Los Angeles heading east going 64 miles per hour. In which city will they collide?" She refused to answer.
Her suitcase pinp, he is now single in his 50s running a nightclub.
She retired from the porn industry around 2012 while her marriage disintegrated. She focused on graduating from an interior design school where she very highly excelled. She received the Synergy Award Recognizing Leadership and Excellence award. The department chair said, "The student elected here tonight always kept her utmost diligence and professionalism towards her design projects and business practices while at the college. She produced beautiful drawings, comprehensive design ideas, and awesome and complete presentations. Her calm, optimistic, friendly and sensitive demeanor captivated all of us in the classroom. A great collaborator and a positive team player." She was hired as an interior decorator in 2013 by a good company.
Not saying she did not earn her high praise, but you never know given her skillset.
She has two kids with her suitcase pimp, and both are adults now. Both avoid any connection to their parents on social media. Although when her daughter posts about a future event, many friends respond asking if her mom will be there.
Tia was remarried and divorced again. She has since been married for a third time and they are probably still together. Both do not use social media.
