Newsletter 54
16 September, 2024If you're new here, welcome! And if you're not, welcome back – it's great to see you all again (virtually, of course 😄). These newsletters are our way of shining the spotlight on all the cool things you're doing, while keeping you in the loop with any important updates from the Mad Rabbit community.
Today, we take a moment to acknowledge 9/11 – a day that reminds us of both loss and resilience. It's a time to reflect on the strength we find in community and the importance of supporting one another. While we each carry our own experiences and memories, this community is a place where we lift each other up, stay bold, and keep moving forward.
With that in mind, let's dive into the latest from the Mad Rabbit family. We’ve got exciting updates, challenge highlights, and some big things on the horizon – all made possible by you.
Commission Update 💰
Let’s kick things off by celebrating the top SKUs since our last newsletter: Soothing Gel, Tattoo Lover’s Kit, and the 9.5 oz Daily Lotion – these are flying off the shelves thanks to you!
You might’ve noticed that the Tattoo Wash disappeared from the ambassador dashboard as a reward. Don’t worry, it didn’t vanish for good – we’re just currently out of stock because you all crushed it with sales! We’ll have it back in stock soon, and as soon as it’s ready to roll, we’ll add it back as a reward.
Oh, and more good news – our SPF will be restocked soon too! So, keep an eye out for that when it makes its glorious return.
Speaking of fun, we recently ran a Tattoo Wash sales challenge through September 1st, where the top seller would snag a $50 PayPal prize. And drumroll, please... Huge congrats to Matthew Williams, our sales rockstar, who racked up 32 sales! Amazing work, Matthew! And a big thank you to everyone who participated – you all crushed it.
Now, let’s give a shoutout to our top five sellers since the last newsletter:
- Matthew Williams
- Marcie Bennett
- Kaylee Williams
- Elena Avalsko
- Martha Camacho
You’re all making big moves, and we see you!
Lastly, we’ve been hearing some awesome feedback about our ambassador business card template. The big takeaway? For folks who aren’t familiar with Mad Rabbit, the coupon on the card wasn’t getting the love it deserved. So, we’ve revamped the copy to make it crystal clear what Mad Rabbit is all about and what the offer is! If you’ve got feedback like this that could benefit you, other ambassadors, or the program in general, don’t hold back – we love hearing from you!
If you've used the old design, now's the perfect time to remake your card with the fresh new look! And for those who haven’t created theirs yet, there’s a challenge for it – complete it and earn some points while you're at it! Both versions of the card can be found in the "Creative Cache" in your dashboard.
Ambassador Post Highlights 🤳
Get ready to celebrate the creativity and passion that make this community so special!

Sponsored Artist Feature - This week, we're diving into the incredible journey of Cam Magers, a tattoo artist whose story is as compelling as his artistry. From his early days selling tattoo flash in high school to mastering the art of realism, Cam’s path is a testament to following your passion and embracing unexpected turns.
Cam’s fascination with tattoos began before social media or smartphones even existed. Back then, he was selling tattoo flash to those lucky enough to find someone who could draw. Despite a strong inclination towards a career in the medical field, life had other plans. After grappling with the emotional weight of working in medicine, Cam turned to tattooing with the support of friends who encouraged him to follow his artistic dreams.
One of the most touching moments in Cam’s career came when he created a memorial tattoo for Jamie, who wanted a way to honor her late daughter. By incorporating her daughter’s ashes into the tattoo, Cam provided Jamie with a meaningful tribute that not only brought her comfort but also transformed her perspective on life. This heartfelt piece was featured in Carnival of Ink Magazine, highlighting how deeply Cam’s work resonates with his clients.
Cam’s love for realism tattoos is evident in his intricate, lifelike designs. For him, realism is more than a style; it’s a challenge that keeps his mind sharp and his creativity flowing. His ADHD drives him to stay ahead of the curve, ensuring each piece is both engaging and impressive.
What Cam loves most about tattooing is the thrill of creating something new every day and the continuous journey of artistic discovery. Influenced by his supportive family and the late Joshua Carlton—who generously shared his knowledge and passion—Cam embodies the spirit of curiosity and dedication that every aspiring artist should embrace.
For those looking to get inked by Cam, he emphasizes the importance of consultations and visualization. His process includes detailed 3D renderings to ensure the design is perfect before the session begins. Cam is currently excited about his latest project, an 8-bit sleeve that blends Old School and New School video game elements, featuring an epic showdown between Doom Slayers from different eras.
To book a session with Cam, reach out directly on Instagram @thattatguycam or through his studio @ink_element_tattoo located in Tiffin, Ohio.
Join us in celebrating Cam Magers and his exceptional artistry. His journey is a reminder that following your passion, embracing challenges, and staying curious can lead to extraordinary achievements. Check out some of his work:
