Mad Rabbit Studios — Resident Class of 2026

Before we turn the page to 2026, I want to acknowledge last year. 2025 was shaped by what you shared. The tattoos you talked about, the questions you asked, the product moments you tested, and the way you showed up for each other across comments, DMs, and Discord. That collective energy is what kept this community moving.
 
We didn’t stop to wrap that up at the time, but it matters, and it carries straight into what comes next. The start of the year isn’t about flipping a switch; it’s about continuing what already feels right and letting momentum build naturally.
 
Everything below lives in that lane. Updates, highlights, and easy ways to stay connected as the year unfolds.

What’s Working Right Now
→ Kits convert best when framed as “everything you need,” not individual products
→ Talking through how you use the product converts better than listing benefits
→ Reposting older tattoos with fresh care context is still converting
→ Early-year buyers respond better to practical routines than hype

⭐ Ambassador of the Week: Kennadee Cobb
Ambassador for 2+ years
 
Kennadee Cobb brings a quiet confidence to everything she shares, one that is rooted in intention rather than impulse. While her tattoos and social presence might suggest that confidence came easily, Kennadee is quick to point out that it was built through lived experience, growth, and learning to choose herself, even during difficult seasons.
 
For Kennadee, tattoos are far more than artwork. They have helped reshape her relationship with her body, turning long-held criticism into appreciation. Each piece represents a chapter she has lived through, especially the hard ones, serving as a reminder that her strength is not defined by what she has endured, but by how she has carried herself through it.
 
Her tattoo journey began with two deeply meaningful memorial pieces honoring her grandmother. One was her handwriting spelling out “love you,” and the other was a small T rex tied to a shared family joke. Those first tattoos did not erase the grief, but they offered comfort and a way to keep her close and carry her presence forward.
 
Right now, the tattoo that means the most to Kennadee is the Proverbs 31 verse on her right wrist. It serves as a daily grounding reminder to lead with integrity, faith, and intention, especially when no one is watching.
 
Tattoo care fits seamlessly into her routine, both morning and night. Mad Rabbit products are a consistent part of that process, helping keep her tattoos healthy and vibrant without feeling heavy or greasy. As someone who is easily overstimulated, that balance matters. It is a small habit that adds up over time, much like the intentional choices that define her approach to life.
