Intricate bridal mehandi, simple Arabic designs | Slots filling for the season
Henna artist from Jaipur | Bride, sangeet and Karwa Chauth sets

Getting more from these captions

Name the medium
'Watercolour painter' tells people what to expect. 'Artist' leaves them guessing.
Say if commissions are open
Buyers ask in DMs. A short 'commissions open' line saves time and brings more orders.
Stay within 150 characters
Instagram bios end at 150 characters, so medium, subject and order details must be brief.

Questions

What should an artist write in an Instagram bio?

Your medium, your subject or style, your city and whether you take commissions.

Should I list my prices?

Put them in a highlight or a link. The bio should tell people where to look, not show a price table.

How do I sound professional without sounding stiff?

Keep it plain. One specific line about your work is better than big words.

Can I copy and paste a mehndi artist bio on Instagram?

Yes, but change the city and the booking line so it is true for you. A mehndi artist bio on Instagram for girl-run studios often adds home visits and bridal slots, so keep that detail if it applies.
