We’re in the thick of spring, and if you’re feeling like things are moving fast, you’re not alone. I know I’ve been having moments lately where it feels like the calendar’s flying by, and I’m not sure if I’m keeping up or if I’m just letting the days blur together. But that’s part of it, right? The grind. The hustle. We’re all just doing our best to make it happen, and I think that’s what makes this community so strong.
 
It’s easy to get caught up in the next big thing, but let’s take a second to appreciate where we are right now—and the work you’ve put in to get here. No matter how big or small, every step forward counts. We’re all here for different reasons, but what brings us together is the drive to create, to be ourselves, and to grow.
 
In this edition, we’ve got some exciting updates you won’t want to miss. First, a new sales challenge starts today—check it out in Commission Updates. We’ve also launched a fresh Mother’s Day challenge, and we’re looking forward to celebrating the amazing moms in our community. Your submission could even get featured. Plus, Griffin’s back with a killer recap of the Chicago convention!

2025 Conventions: Chicago Recap
Written by Griff
 
Chicago, you were wild.
 
Another convention in the books—and this one was absolute chaos (in the best way possible). The Villain Arts Tattoo Convention brought the heat: jaw-dropping realism, a surprise foot tattoo, and even a vintage-style ice cream cart rolling through the aisles.
 
Huge congrats to @guzman_tattoo for taking home Best in Show with a blazing dragon eye + molten stone face masterpiece. Oh—and he casually picked up six more awards. Absolute legend.

Mad Rabbit Pro Artists Pony (@ponylawson) and Steven (@scm_ink) held it down at their booths, while Alena (@alenatattoos) brought nonstop heat to ours.

Also in the mix:
Sponsored Artists Trevor (@tmctattoos) and Geoff (@tattoogeof) at our booth, while
Sebas (@sebasvc1104) and Josue (@swaeink) represented hard at theirs. We know even more of you were there, so if we missed shouting you out, know we see you and appreciate the love 🖤
 
And in true Mad Rabbit fashion, the creativity didn’t stop with tattoos. Trevor surprised our co-founders with custom epoxy skateboards made alongside his dad. Geoff gifted them custom kimonos—both personal, badass, and unforgettable.

Moments like this are what it’s all about—community, creativity, and the kind of talent that goes way beyond the needle.
 
Also, a huge shout-out to the ambassadors who rolled through the booth to say what’s up. If you're ever at a show and spot the Mad Rabbit booth, come say hi! We love putting faces to names and hearing your stories in person.
 
Next stop: Hell City, Ohio (5/2–5/4).
Will you be there? Let us know—we’d love to link up.
