When you’re sharing your link or code, remember to always give a little context. A link alone is easy to overlook, but when you explain why you love a product or why it’s worth trying, it becomes more compelling. You can even generate links directly to specific products, which makes it easier for others to follow through. Tattoo artists—consider adding your link to a Linktree, bio, or even an aftercare page on your website for extra visibility.
It’s also helpful to visit our website now and then! We’re always updating our product pages with fresh visuals and clear instructions to improve the experience, so checking in occasionally helps you stay current with what we’re offering.
And don’t forget, you have access to free products through the ambassador program! With a 2,000-point welcome bonus, you can redeem a product right away, and a few quick challenges will have you stacking up points for even more. Artists also receive a free Soothing Gel and Glide, and we offer additional product rewards for hitting milestones at 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 sales. These perks are here to help you make the most of your journey with us!

Leonardo Favarin | @leofavarink
The Grand Reaper Studio | San Diego, CA
Leo’s journey into tattooing started in São Paulo, Brazil, where he grew up surrounded by art, graffiti, skateboarding, and music. His early exposure to these forms of street culture inspired his creativity and love for drawing. Leo’s first interest in tattoos began when he was 14, after discovering a local tattoo artist in his neighborhood. At the time, tattoos were still considered taboo, and only the most rebellious people had them. This made Leo even more curious, and he started visiting a small studio, where he fell in love with the process of watching tattoos being created. Though his first tattoo experience didn’t go as planned, Leo’s passion for tattooing grew stronger over time.
When his brother began apprenticing at a tattoo studio, Leo’s interest in the craft reignited. He started spending more time at the studio, getting more tattoos, and eventually realized that tattooing was the career he had always been searching for.
One of the most memorable and life-changing moments in Leo’s career came when he and his wife, along with their two cats, decided to hit the road for a year and a half. “We didn’t have a house, we didn’t have many plans, we didn’t set a date, we just decided to see where the universe and the tattoo would take us, and it was amazing,” Leo reflects. During this time, they traveled through 14 countries and more than 30 cities. Leo tattooed in various studios, working alongside artists he had long admired. He even had the opportunity to visit and spend time with legendary tattoo artist Filip Leu on four separate occasions, learning from him and absorbing valuable lessons that have shaped Leo’s career.
Leo’s artistic style is a unique fusion of various influences. Blending black and gray for its timelessness, Japanese designs for their seamless fit on the body, art nouveau for beauty, and traditional tattoos for their bold lines and structure. His approach is fluid, mixing these elements to create tattoos that are as unique as the clients he works with.
What Leo loves most about tattooing is the impact it has on his clients. “Tattoos make people feel more unique and confident, and I love being part of that transformation,” he says. To celebrate this process, Leo often invites clients back for a photoshoot months after their tattoos have healed, hearing them share how much their new ink has changed the way they see themselves.
Currently, Leo is working on his first full-body suit—a project that represents a major milestone in his career. “It’s always been a dream of mine to have someone trust their whole body to my art,” he says. Although it will take several years to complete, Leo is excited about the challenge and the deep bond that will form through the process.

Updates
Ink Master Season 16 - We’re several episodes into Ink Master Season 16, and the competition is heating up! Mad Rabbit is proudly represented by Pro Artists Pony Lawson and Alena Wedderburn, and Sponsored Artist Jade Olivia. It’s been amazing to watch their incredible talent on display, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s to come. If you’re not already, be sure to follow along with the show and check out our Instagram for fun polls, where you can vote for your favorite artists and join the conversation!
Here’s the latest update from Jade,
On last week's episode of @inkmaster (can you tell I legit was struggling to tattoo and talk at the same time 😂)For those who don’t know, tattooing was never on my radar—until a few of my coworkers suggested it. I was bartending at the time and feeling stuck in the restaurant industry. When the bar was slow, I’d pass the time doodling on cocktail napkins, and my coworkers kept saying, “Why don’t you do something with art?”
Eventually, the idea grew on me. I pulled together a portfolio and visited 17 tattoo shops around Boston. After 16 rejections, I almost gave up—but the last shop took a chance on me, and the rest is history.This week’s metallic challenge was a blast, but I swear, my piece looked CRAZY until the last 30 minutes. Even the judges were giving me that “uh-oh” look, and I was thinking the same—like, girl….this is not it. But I had to trust the process; most of my work looks like a mess until the final hour.
I didn’t want to just tattoo a simple diver’s helmet, so I added illustrative tentacles for contrast and thought they’d make the helmet look more realistic by comparison. Unfortunately, they ended up looking unfinished, but I still liked the concept! 😅
