Hi there and welcome to my little world of creativity!

I am the host of this tiny universe, so naturally I want to properly introduce myself: My name is Lale, but you may also know me as @teuretulpe on Instagram, and I am an illustrator and tattooist currently based in Hamburg.

When I am not on the run for vinyls or maintaining and driving my classic VW Polo named Paolo, I create illustrative and line-based art pieces for my clients. My main influences are drawn by my previous experiences as a vet assistant and marine mammals’ caregiver – among them seals and porpoises – in Germany and Denmark. So, it’s all about the sea, its inhabitants and (marine) biology that I constantly try to combine with current pop culture phenomena. Starting my journey as an tattooist, I aimed for my art to have a touch of uniqueness, humour and the combination my two favourite aspects in the world: animals and arts.

I am thrilled to have you here!

There is much to see in this cosmos I call my own, so please feel free to have a stroll and look around – and don’t forget to have fun while being here!
