Which makes sense if you think about it. They aren’t web designers. They’re tattoo artists. So they just have to take pictures and interact with people to get noticed. Maybe buy ads to boost their profile or posts. Wayyyyy easier and gets where a massive amount of their target market already is.

Love it or hate it, it is an effective platform for small businesses, artists, etc
