About

Hi I'm Annie- and I’m so thrilled you’re here! Let me take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Annie— or Lale, or Lale Annie—whichever you prefer! 😉 I’m the owner of TullyLaRue & Co., a small, independently owned business named after my grandfather, Tully LaRue Lale.

My journey with permanent jewelry began in the fall of 2022, when I discovered this unique concept and immediately fell in love. I dove into extensive research (much more than I ever imagined!) and patiently waited for the perfect moment to begin this venture. After building my skills, gaining confidence, and connecting with incredible wholesalers, I officially launched TullyLaRue & Co. in July 2023.

In addition to owning TullyLaRue & Co, I have worked in the dental field for over 20 years, and I truly love my "day job". Dentistry runs in my family, my grandfather, Tully, was a well-respected dentist in the Kansas City area for many years.

I also work part-time as a Surrogate Support Specialist, a role that's incredibly close to my heart as a two-time gestational surrogate.

Above all, I am a wife and mother of two amazing teenage boys--the three of them are my entire world. And, of course, our family wouldn't be complete without our two fur babies.

Thank you for being here! xo
