10 Creatives to Follow on TikTok in 2021

Domestika’s Instagram community votes for the social network's most inspiring accounts

TikTok is much more than dance moves, reactions, and laughs. There is also a growing wave of creatives surprising everyone with their talents. On Instagram, we often get to see a more carefully-curated side of each user, with heavily edited photos and thought-out angles. TikTok gives us a more relaxed experience and a behind-the-scenes atmosphere.
