First year of uni but I’ve already got a bachelors degree in pretending to be on the phone to dodge anyone handing out flyers at the front of the library

@WinstonNeville4 @im_alana_ Road to 100k 🥹

Lenard Schuurmans aka ‘lennyflash’ is an artist that has succeeded in doing this - his flash page has amassed over 60 thousand followers, while his professional tattoo page has grown to 10 thousand throughout this process. #bcm114

[Luke Sinclair @Lukesinclair48]

Artists, particularly tattoo artists, have begun running a separate Instagram profile to highlight their flash designs, optimising the use of Reels to boost engagement on their profile. #bcm114 1/2

[Luke Sinclair @Lukesinclair48]

The design/idea of this somewhat ‘pathway’ is that the engagement garnered on the flash page will in turn, bring attention over to the business page, as well as open up the potential to sell prints and other tangible goods. #bcm114

I’ll be damned

[Luke Sinclair @Lukesinclair48]

A clothing brand is apparently sending me some clothes to post in 😅 I’ll believe this when it’s delivered to my front door ~ stay tuned 👽

[Luke Sinclair @Lukesinclair48]

@maxgeorgia_ Absolutely deserved 💅

[Luke Sinclair @Lukesinclair48]

Giving myself a well deserved break after finishing the introduction for my report after half a week of procrastination 🫡 #bcm111

#bcm114 DA update ~ this week I have acquired an Apple Pencil and have been moving my illustrations to @Procreate, still getting used to how it all works but it’s honestly game changing for creating on the go

[Luke Sinclair @Lukesinclair48]

He tries to keep his feed to his own style as those posts are successful on his account, as much as he enjoys tattooing other styles. Instagram somewhat dictates what artists post and lots of artists are slaves to the algorithm in order to do succeed on the platform. #bcm114

[Luke Sinclair @Lukesinclair48]

#bcm114 Tattoo artists have to somewhat bow to the Instagram algorithm in order to maximise reach on their posts. After a conversation with one particular artist ‘Zak’, he told me that while he enjoys tattooing traditional pieces 1/2

[Luke Sinclair @Lukesinclair48]

Artists as well as creators in general are always trying to figure out what the Instagram algorithm wants in a video in order to push its reach greater on the app - Ryan Smallman is an artist that integrates his art into Reels as well as images quite successfully. #bcm114

[Luke Sinclair @Lukesinclair48]

With the introduction of Instagram Reels in 2019, it has been an extremely important tool used by artists to increase engagement with their current audience, but more importantly in expanding that audience as well. #bcm114 1/2
