A jackalope for the lovely and wonderful @beckulax ...

Unholy. ...

To all my present and future customers:
I first want to thank everyone who chooses me to adorn them with my artwork. I’ve been tattooing now for 17 years and I’m still humbled and honored with every piece I do.
I’m even more humbled by the volume of customers I have ahead of me. As I’m currently booking into late Fall of 2024, I’ve decided it’s time for me to shift my tattooing career into a slightly different direction.
From now going forward, I’m going to be selective about projects I’m taking on. I’m choosing to focus more on custom pieces, and ideas that challenge and evolve me as an artist.
This decision hasn’t come easily, since I prioritize my customers’ happiness and satisfaction no matter the subject matter. But for my growth as an artist, this is a move I feel is best for me in this stage of my life.
Although I am choosing to keep my books closed for the time being, once opened any and all inquires can be made through my website www.karlycleary.com. I ask that you please not DM me on Instagram, email my personal address, or text my work number with ideas, it just becomes too difficult to keep track of.
If you do fill out a consultation form on my website and do not hear back, it is not personal. Trust me when I say I truly value anyone who is considering me as their artist, but again I’m just choosing to yield on taking on everything all the time.
Obviously, this does not apply to all currently scheduled appointments so although this new policy is going to be implemented soon, it won’t actually take effect until late next year.
Thank you in advance for understanding and my wonderful, organized, kind, and patient assistant Becky and I look forward to the years ahead!! ...
