Here are the important social media updates for tattoo artists and other creatives:
TikTok Bulletin Boards is Direct Access to Clients and Future Clients (Same as on IG)
Bulletin Boards are a one-way broadcast tool where creators can send exclusive updates, photos, or videos straight to followers’ inboxes.
It creates a direct line to the people most likely to book.
Flash drops, last-minute openings, travel dates, healed work requests, etc.
The catch: you need 50K+ followers to post.
Instagram Edits Is Worth Using
Meta reported that Edits usage almost doubled this quarter, and more than half of all Reels viewers see content made in Edits daily. They’re pushing it hard.
1. Built-in audio ducking
Edits now lowers background music automatically when you talk.
Faster Reels turnaround.
Cleaner client-facing educational content.
No extra editing apps.
2. “Open in Edits” button for Reels
Inside the Reel editor, you’ll now see an Open in Edits button.
It sends your video straight into the full Edits suite for trims, audio fixes, and cover selection.
You can jump straight into full edits without exporting or reopening anything.
Faster workflow means more consistent posting.
3. Edits is becoming the default
If Meta is pushing Edits, your content made with it might get better distribution. Not guaranteed, but worth testing.
Instagram Tests Story Reshares
Instagram is testing a feature that lets people reshare someone else’s Story into their own Story.
Huge potential for tattoo artists who post flash, healed work, or client reactions.
If clients can reshare your Stories directly, your reach goes farther than close friends lists.
Keep an eye on privacy settings once this formally rolls out.
Threads: Small Changes That Help With Community
1. Author Checkmark in Replies
Replies from the original poster show a small checkmark.
If you’re answering FAQs, deposit questions, or giving advice, people can find your responses fast.
2. Ghost Posts (Their Version of Stories)
Threads launched temporary posts similar to Stories.
Low-pressure way to share.
Meta’s Holiday “Click-to-Message” Guide
Meta says DM-driven conversions (IG + FB) are up 40% YoY.
More people want to book or ask questions in DMs rather than forms.
The guide breaks down how to build ads that send people straight into your inbox.
Useful if you run promos, travel dates, or have open books for the new year.
If you don’t run ads, still pay attention. It signals where client behavior is heading to DM-first booking.
TikTok Holiday Hub
TikTok rolled out a holiday hub with free creative tools, planning checklists, and AI features.
Even if you’re not running holiday promos:
You get better prompts, templates, and creation tools.
Helps with flash drops, studio announcements, or storytelling videos.
WhatsApp Username Reservation
(Important for Artist Pages)
You can now reserve your Instagram/Facebook username on WhatsApp.
If you ever plan to use WhatsApp for deposits, travel bookings, or studio communication, you can secure your handle now so nobody else takes it.
Good for brand consistency.
