I've eaten so many Reese's bats, Kit Kats, and M&Ms this month (I’m aware it’s only the 7th) that I'm not sure there'll be anything left for trick-or-treaters. Halloween started early at my house.
It started early in your submissions too. Ink or Treat has been getting a lot of entries, and they're good. But I know a lot of you have spooky ink on your skin or in your portfolio that we haven't seen yet.
Ink or Treat 🎃
Show us your spookiest, darkest, most horror-coded ink. Your own tattoo, a fresh piece, or your work on a client all count.
The Mad Rabbit team picks the finalists, then the community votes Halloween week. The winner gets one of our upcoming holiday bundles.
Ink or Treat So Far 🤳
A few of the entries so far. If it's Halloween to you, it counts.
"Pumpkin Man" by Jolene Pieczura (@jolenealexis on TikTok)
Traditional, witchy, and that orange really pops.
Scooby-Doo by Elba Munoz (@bitattuink)
Tattooed in 15 hours at a convention and healed with Mad Rabbit. "Jinkies" barely covers it.
Clown by Allan Mandi (@allanmanditattoos)
That grin is scarier than any jump scare.
Raven by Violet Morin (@wicked_violets_tattoos)
Proof that spooky doesn't need gore. Dark, quiet, and clean.
Where Commissions Are Coming From 💰
The top three products moving through ambassador codes right now: Tattoo Lovers' Kit, New Tattoo Intro Kit, and Soothing Gel. Two of those are kits. People want the full setup, not one piece of it.
Biggest cart this round goes to Kaylee Williams: a $130.24 order that earned her $35.94.
What was in it: Tattoo Lovers' Kit, Tattoo Club Membership, Tattoo Travel Kit, plus Delivery Guarantee and carbon-neutral shipping.
That cart started with a kit and grew from there. When you post, lead with the Lovers' Kit or the Intro Kit instead of a single product. The kit gets them interested, and they usually add more on their own.
Shout-out to Jazmin Seals, Ashley Duncan, and Yesenia Luengas for placing wholesale orders. Artists, you get 5% off plus 5% cashback on wholesale.

Tattoo Trivia: October Edition (250 pts): Quick quiz, easy points.
Ambassador of the Week: Gavin Schaeffer⭐
Gavin started tattooing at 13 in his grandma's basement. He got grounded for it pretty much nonstop.
At 16, on a family vacation, his mom finally let him get his first professional tattoo, a skull and a rose. She had one condition: "I was not allowed to do tattoos anymore at home!" He was nervous, and he loved everything he saw in that shop. Watching the artist work was the moment it clicked for him. "I knew I wanted to tattoo for the rest of my life, so I could bring joy to people just like he did to me."
He's 23 now and three years into tattooing professionally. The piece that means the most to him right now is his brothers' birth dates on his wrist, which he got during a rough stretch so he'd always have them with him.
Mad Rabbit came into his process the same way it does for a lot of artists: he tried it himself first. "I used Mad Rabbit for a while and loved the results I got with it! So I started recommending it to all of my clients."
Ask him what tattooing has given him beyond the art, and he'll tell you it's confidence, plus some of his best friends. "The connection with working with someone is special, and some of the best times I've had."
Where to Focus Right Now
-
Before Oct 22: Submit your Ink or Treat photo.

This week: Get your first October sale through your code. That one sale counts toward Make One Sale, and toward Lovers' Kit Bonus too if it's a Lovers' Kit.
-
This month: Make a spooky season post with Mad Rabbit in it and submit the link. That's 2,000 points, the same as selling a Lovers' Kit.
-
Anytime: Take the trivia quiz. It takes two minutes.
If anyone has a strategy for not eating the trick-or-treat candy, I'm listening. The Reese's bats have no chance.
