Dear Ambassador,
 
The end of August always sneaks up. One minute it’s peak summer, the next we’re talking about Labor Day plans. It’s that strange in-between: moving from the long, spontaneous days of summer into the steadier pace of what comes next.
 
Labor Day reminds us why balance matters. It’s about the grind, yes, but also about rest, reset, and giving yourself some credit for what’s already been done. Not everything has to be perfect to be worthwhile. Trying, experimenting, and sometimes stumbling is part of the work, too.
 
So here’s to closing out summer strong, giving yourself grace in the process, and carrying a little of that long-weekend energy forward.
 
📌 Important Updates:

• Labor Day Sale: Extra 10% off sets with code LDWS25 (8/28–9/1).

Ambassador Post Highlights 🤳

The time has come for me to finally make some content… or at least think really hard about it (don’t worry, it’s coming soon). To keep it approachable, I’ve been breaking it down into smaller steps: keeping a quick shot list on my phone whenever an idea pops up, talking with others to bounce around concepts, and pulling inspiration from posts I like while putting my own spin on them.
 
Content doesn’t have to feel overwhelming, and the highlights below show exactly how creative and fun it can be. Take a look, drop some love, and maybe spark your next idea.

⭐ Ambassador of the Week: Jorge Rivera 
 
This week, we’re spotlighting Jorge Rivera, a Mad Rabbit Ambassador Artist for over three months, working out of his private studio in Lakeland, Florida.
 
Jorge describes himself as an artist who’s always pushing limits. “I’m constantly evolving, and I like to push boundaries,” he says. Over the past 15 years, he’s built lasting relationships with clients who trust him to experiment with mixed styles or even recommend other artists if a project falls outside his comfort zone.
 
His connection to Mad Rabbit started through a client with psoriasis who tried the products during a guest spot and found relief. “It was the best product he’d used for his skin condition… then the numbing cream came into play. Everybody loved it. It’s helped a lot of harder-to-heal tattoos, especially with multi-layered colors or sacred geometry.”
 
When it comes to meaningful ink, his first visible tattoo stands out: an all-seeing eye with a crying zombie woman’s face and a crescent moon. It reflects his reverence for balance, enlightenment, and those persecuted for their beliefs.
 
Jorge laughs when recalling his actual first tattoo, a kitchen chair job with all the wrong tools. “Terrible shading, wrong needles, three or four hours of discomfort. I ended up fixing it years later in my apprenticeship.”
 
And here’s a twist you wouldn’t guess: “I’m a huge Taylor Swift fan… I do a special on Taylor Swift tattoo flash every year on my studio’s anniversary, December 13th, her birthday.” (Yes, that Taylor Swift—congrats to her on the engagement yesterday! If anyone wants to talk about it, reply to this email 🧡)
 
We’re proud to have Jorge as part of the Mad Rabbit community. His mix of passion, experimentation, and authenticity is exactly what makes this group so inspiring.
