We have said several times that Instagram is a HUUUGE (yes, with that many u’s) in the world of micropigmentation, so we decided to do some research and find the most influential micropigmentation artists on Instagram.
Looking at their feeds is so exciting! These are artists are incredibly successful in their craft and very highly regarded. Many have training programs and travel the world teaching their perfected techniques. They’re #InstaFamous!
Growing an Instagram following of any of these sizes is a huge achievement. The amount of attention that comes from having a sizable Instagram following is huge. However, it’s not easy. We’re just getting started with our own account, testing things out growing little by little. Part of it is understanding the platform and using the right hashtags.
We’ve compiled a list of more than 200 hashtags researched for this industry to help you grow your #InstaFollowing. Click on the image to download it AND get access to our resource library, stocked with free downloadable goodies to help streamline your success.
